Name Recognition is an important skill at the preschool age. Every morning students need to find their name on the cubbies to hang up their belongings. This daily exposure is key for developing and understanding of the letters and letter sounds within their names. This week we focused on names in a few different ways. Ms. Cally helped the preschoolers find the letters of their names on blocks and build each name together. They discussed each letter within their names and discovered letter sounds. You can make letter blocks out of legos with some masking tape and a marker. Another great way to practice name recognition is “letter hunting” in magazines. Once you have found and cut out each letter in your child’s name, glue them onto small pieces of paper. You can scramble the letters up and put them in order together. There are many ways to explore names at home!
The preschoolers practiced letter recognition, letter sounds, uppercase/lowercase matching, and hand-eye coordination while playing with blocks today. We had so much fun building and knocking down towers! Tape some letters on your blocks for more fun at home!
The preschoolers practiced one-to-one correspondence today while playing with megablocks. When you are counting with your preschooler make sure to only say a number aloud when your finger touches the object, or in this case, the black dot. We always count from left to right. After we counted dots it was time to find the right number and build a match. This is a super easy and fun way to practice math skills. Try with some blocks at home!
