This week in Preschool, we explored a new way to paint; with MARSHMALLOWS!! We used the marshmallows as stampers and used large ones to stamp white paint on a snowman and small ones to paint black eyes, buttons, and a mouth. The kids had so much fun with this activity!
One of our preschool morning tables before Christmas break was a fun colored spaghetti activity! We squished, smooshed, cut, pulled, and pinched fun, colorful, cooked spaghetti and it was SO MUCH FUN!!
Phonics involves the relationship between sounds and their spellings. The goal of phonics instruction is to teach students the most common sound-spelling relationships so that they can decode, or sound out, words. This decoding ability is a crucial element in reading success. The first step in phonics study is to be able to identify the sound(s) each letter can make. As we begin to “read” our letter Jj books, we are also taking part in correctly orienting books for reading and turning pages one at a time. Children also begin to demonstrate an understanding that print carries meaning. All of these are the first steps in the process of early reading.
