Our space unit came to an end on Friday, but you can check out some of the fun activities we did together.
Number Matching
Rocket Ship Dramatic Play
Space Sensory Play
During group time we read, “Camping in Green.”
Next, Ms. Laurel talked about different green items, like frogs and broccoli, as the toddlers placed them on the board.
Then the toddlers explored more green items in the discovery tubs.
During group time we introduced the letter H.
The toddlers love singing our alphabet song and having the letter visit their head!
We sing, “There’s a H on my head, on my head”
“There’s a H on my head, on my head.”
“There’s a H on my head, and /h/ is what it says.”
“There’s a H on my head, on my head.”
Then we repeat the song.
During group time we also learned more about the square.
We read “Square”
and talked about square objects in our classroom.
Earlier this week we read “There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly!”
Then we made an old lady puppet and animals to retell the story.
Everyone loved feeding the old lady!
We started our adventure in reading today! We discovered that all of the letter sounds that the children worked so hard to master during preschool, when put together, make words! After reading the book, The Alphabet Tree by Leo Lionni, we began to build simple words in the -at family…C-A-T, H-A-T, B-A-T, R-A-T, then we sounded each of them out. The children then worked independently on building their own -at family word and an illustration (good writers always illustrate their work with a picture that matches!) For a fun way to practice sounding out words…visit Starfall and use their “Word Machine.” This is a website that you will need to purchase a membership for a minimal fee. This site is worth every penny. You will be able to use it through first and second grade. A fun, interactive way to practice essential skills. LET’S HAVE FUN LEARNING!
Letters by themselves are just letters
But when they are grouped together...Presto! It's a word!
We are learning about the letter B and it’s sound.
Caught you reading!
We love to build!
And explore the rest of the room!
We had fun painting with Ms. Diana!
