We practiced some of our Kindergarten skills as we listened and followed directions during our writing activity in Pre-K. Following multi-step directions in a classroom setting is a critical skill for young ones to develop to become successful in the classroom. This was a CHALLENGE today, but with our continued practice, we are surely to become pros!
We focused on independent letter formation and orientation during our sight word study today. What an amazing job they did! I’m so very proud of their hard work and perseverance. They are on their way to becoming independent writers ready for Kindergarten.
We learned about constellations during group time today and found them on the smartboard in the night sky. Then, we used our developing fine motor skills to carefully poke holes along our sight words with a small toothpick to create our own constellation.
We started our week with sorting our sight words from last week and our new ones for this week! This activity not only focused on sight word recognition, but required the ability to follow multi step directions, sorting, and fine motor skills for cutting, pasting and manipulating the small pieces of paper.
We were Author’s and Illustrator’s today! We re-read the book, Where is Scooter? by Bruce Larkin in reading groups. We wrote a new sentence for the book, cut it apart and put it back together. Then we illustrated the sentence. Cutting apart simple sentences is a great way to get a better understanding that letters make words and words make sentences!
