  • K Prep Reading Groups: Farm Animals

    We continued with our second book, Farm Animaals  in K prep reading groups. The children workied hard to track each word in the repetitive text that introduces a new sight word each week. The sight word we worked on this week is the word, is. Sight words are words that are used most frequently in text. The reason that they are called “sight” words is because the goal is for your child to begin to recognize these words instantly, at first sight. These are very important to master because they account for up to 75% of the words used in beginning children’s books. These words, typically, are not words that can be “sounded out,” therefore need to be learned by sight. Many of the readers will be printed for the students to take home to continue rereading to help improve fluency and sight word recognition.

     

     

     

  • Hands on, Interactive Learning at Creative Tots

    We had a blast with our November farm theme in Preschool/Preschool Prep! Below the students are washing the “mud” (brown paint) off of the pigs to reveal a letter to identify!

    The Preschool class acted out the story “I Spy on the Farm”. It was a fun and interactive way to retell the story step by step.

    After reading “Chicka Chika Boom Boom”, we collected leaves outside that had letters on them and we created our own fall version of the alphabet tree!
