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.

We used the small motor muscles in our hands and fingers throughout our small group activities to help prepare for our future of writing!
Pre-Kers have been making Valentines for their friends in the Writing Center this month and have been mailing them in our classroom mailbox. But of course we need someone to deliver our cards…who will be the mail “man” or “woman” tomorrow?
We had a ball on Thursday during small groups. Ms. Lori let us create an arctic scene from Greenland with homemade puffy paint and homemade textured sand paint. The kids enjoyed adding the puffy fur onto the Polar Bear to help keep it warm. During reading groups, after reading our readers, we played a Cookie Crunch Sight Word game on the Smartboard to polish our sight word recognition. Then, we used our white crayons on black paper to practice our letter formation and orientation of our current sight words. Watch out Kindergarten….here we come!
We used roller paints today to write our new sight word…make. It was a fun way to write our new sight word!
We used the environmental print around our classroom on Friday for writing practice.
Pencils and crayons are not the only materials we use for pre-writing skills. The children were given M&Ms to work on fine motor skills by outlining the first letter of their name.
