We started our reading groups today in Pre-k. The children were introduced to their magic reading finger which helps them become better readers! As young readers begin their journey into early reading, it is important for them to point to each word as they read. The children were also introduced to the sight words the and I today. These are great words to begin with during homework practice. They were excited to spot the new sight word in the book they read today. I Jump
So what’s the deal with using your fingers to read with? Because our eyes naturally follow movement, placing a finger, on a page and strategically moving it down the text, a reader will naturally keep their place and be more focused. This helps readers concentrate and understand what they read making reading a more satisfying experience.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
We have been very busy in the early 3’s class. I apologize for not posting more often. These days and weeks are just flying by! We have been working on writing our letters for the week in pink sand. The children have been doing so well with this! 😀 Lots of exciting moments as I watch children write different letters for the first time. We have been working on our scooping and pouring skills with a variety of experiences. Before Thanksgiving, we had a special whole group activity where the children came up and told me what they were thankful for. I wrote their response on a paper cut out of a feather, and they taped it onto the turkey on our magnetic board. Hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving! See you Monday!
