During the month of March, we will be working on the letters C, O and Q. In Ms. Lori’s group today, the children used their letter recognition skills while searching for the letter C or pictures that begin with the letter C. When one was found, the children cut them out and glued them onto their paper. In Ms. Leslie’s Group, the boys and girls practiced all three letters by building the letters on their magnetic board, writing them on the magnetic board and practicing their sounds.
On our first day of March, the children enjoyed learning about their new center activities. Taking time to teach the boys and girls the correct way to do an activity ensures that they are getting the most out of their learning. We also spent some time outside today working on our listening skills and following directions. The children were delighted to be out in the warm sunshine!
As we roll into March, it’s time to introduce new activities in our centers! Today, the children learned how to use the activities in our math, literacy and art centers. So many ways to practice our letters and numbers!
Today, the boys and girls had the opportunity to practice their letters and sounds with alphabet cover-up! Honing in more specifically on letter sounds, the children were asked to find and cover-up the /b/, /d/, /y/ and /z/.
How do you create a memorable experience? By writing letters and numbers using shaving cream! The boys and girls had an ooey gooey time using their pre-writing skills to create the letters Y, Z and T, along with numbers 2, 3 and 4.
After reading out reading group book, Can You See the Skunk?, we found the sight word stamps that matched the words in our book. Then we stamped them on our paper and wrote the words.
Our ocean animal friends helped us with our letter recognition and sounds today. Using our listening skills, the children were asked to color the ocean animals specific colors, while searching for the letter each animal had. These boys and girls came up with some colorful creations!
Focusing on the letter Y, the children thought of words that began with that letter, such as yellow, yo-yo, yesterday and yarn. Using some of our Y words, the children then make their own Y yarn creations. Writing the Y in glue and the outlining it in yarn is excellent letter formation practice, while working on the letter sound.
