Well, this past week, we have been very busy considering we have only been in school a little over 20 days! In literacy we continue to introduce lowercase letters as well as some sight words. We have been rhyming and practicing letter/sound identification through games and various center activities. Writing our names in lowercase letters has been a focus as most children find it difficult to transition from uppercase letters.
In Math we are working on comparing and writing numbers to 5. What does equal, greater than, and less than actually mean. And can you explain what they mean when solving a problem? Speaking in math terms is very difficult for young children to do. Although they can solve a problem, they can not explain how they arrived at the answer. We work on this daily so they have an understanding of what they are doing.
We are also writers!! We have started to put together simple stores through pictures, labeling and adding detail to the page. Our work lately has been focusing on writing words by stretching and slowly saying each word carefully listening to the sounds we hear. This has enabled us to try and put these words on lines to tell a story. Not easy!! But boy are we doing a great job! And more importantly, we are all enjoying it!
