We’ve been talking about the nursery rhyme “Three Little Kittens” and how the kittens lost their mittens. So, today we helped the kittens find their mittens in the snow. As the toddlers found a mitten we talked about it’s color and placed it on the board looking for it’s match.
We learned about the Mayflower today. Who sailed on the Mayflower? What was it like? What were the pilgrims allowed to bring on board? What did they eat? Was it an easy voyage? Where were they going? We answered all of these questions and many more as we explored the voyage of the Mayflower to Plymouth.
The children participated in a guided drawing activity this week. This activity focused on listening and following step by step directions as the children drew their own little pilgrim boy. We have been learning about the pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving. Ask your child what they have learned!
We have been working on a more difficult book during reading groups this week. It contains our previous sight words: is ~ can along with our new word~we. Most pages contain multiple sentences which is requiring the students to pay close attention to each and every word that they are reading as they track the words with their finger. This book also contains missing words that the children added by listening to the sounds in the word. They’re working hard as we continue our journey to becoming readers!
We finished up our reading groups today as we read, I Can Move, for the final time and then had the opportunity to work our small motor muscles as we colored the pages of our emergent readers. The students have worked very hard this week mastering their new sight word: can. They have done such an amazing job! As we learned the new sight word, we reviewed its letters and sounds Cc~Aa~Nn.
