The Writing Center is open for business! We added a new exciting center to the mix...the Writing Center! Here we practice writing letters, words, numbers, drawing pictures, stamping/punching letters and tracing shapes and animals with stencils. Everyone has their very own writing journal to get to work! ;) If you have any extra "office supplies" at home (envelopes, stationary, calendars, rulers, stamps, tape, staplers, pens/pencils, notebooks, etc.) we will put them to good use!
During our daily Morning Meeting when we take "attendance", we have mastered identifying our first names and have moved on to identifying last names! After just a few days, we are really getting the hang of it. These little scholars are getting ready for Kindergarten!
So far, letters c, o, a, d, g, m, l, h, t, i, j, k, u, b, r, f and n have been formally introduced. Next up....e! Other skills we are focusing on are letter sounds, beginning sounds, rhyming, vocabulary, comprehension, difference between words/letters and concepts of print....and the list goes on and on! Sight words introduced so far....I, the, and, a.
We are constantly working on identifying numbers 1-10 (and beyond!) and counting/counting objects 1-10 (and beyond!). A few other skills are are practicing are patterning, sequencing, more/less and sorting to name just a few!
And....let's not forget about social skills, which we are, of course, working on all day long!!! :)
