We are off to a great start. We are into the letters b, f, m, t and n in our Foundations Program and have been rhyming as well. We have practiced writing the letters, finding words that begin with those letters. hearing the beginning sounds in words with those letters as well as reciting (not singing) the alphabet daily. We have sorted pictures, used computer games with the alphabet, completed rhyming puzzles and played rhyming games throughout the week. We have also been practicing our names in lowercase letters.
We have also begun our Writing Program by introducing the art of storytelling. The children have been creating great stories that we talk about in whole group. We identify the characters and the setting. We discuss the beginning, middle and end. We also talk about the feelings that the characters are having throughout the story. In the end, we actually act it out! We respectfully decide on characters and sometimes we use props from the classroom. We have been having a lot of fun.
In Math we have been focusing on the numbers 0 - 5. We are leaning how to talk math and explain answers given to some problems. Not easy to do but we are just beginning and will get so much better by the end of the year. We have been writing numbers and playing lots of partner games as well as dice games.We have learned about order and the math terms whole, part and arrangement.
