A new month means a new theme! This month, the children will be traveling to Africa. We have transformed our room into our very own savannah, along with offering new activities in each center. Today, we took the time to get acquainted with what’s new in our room.
We used a flashlight today as a pointer during small groups to play I spy. I spy a word with three letters….I spy a word with the ending sound /p/…I spy a word that rhymes with cake.
As we gear up for spring break, we did one last review of the letter Q. We practiced how to write a Q, the sound it makes, and created our own Q-tip masterpiece!
Writing our name in new and exciting ways helps keep children motivated to practice writing their names correctly. Today, Ms. Courtney showed the boys and girls how to use a stamp pad to write their names. Stamping each letter to mimic the direction that it is written, reinforces the proper way to write, along with the way we read (left to right, top to bottom).
We had a top ‘o the morning by filling our bucket with the /o/ sound. All of the animals that we glued onto our picture began with the short /o/ sound. The children had a jolly ole’ time practicing the /o/ sound!
We learned about the life cycle of a red eyed tree frog today and watched the actual frog transform through the process on our SmartBoard. We then created our own book describing the steps of the life cycle.
