Name Recognition is an important skill at the preschool age. Every morning students need to find their name on the cubbies to hang up their belongings. This daily exposure is key for developing and understanding of the letters and letter sounds within their names. This week we focused on names in a few different ways. Ms. Cally helped the preschoolers find the letters of their names on blocks and build each name together. They discussed each letter within their names and discovered letter sounds. You can make letter blocks out of legos with some masking tape and a marker. Another great way to practice name recognition is “letter hunting” in magazines. Once you have found and cut out each letter in your child’s name, glue them onto small pieces of paper. You can scramble the letters up and put them in order together. There are many ways to explore names at home!

{Monday}
We made “G” is for “gold” by painting the letter “G” with gold paint. We worked on our one-to-one correspondence and number recognition with pegs. We also practiced our sorting skills by sorting colored buttons.
{Wednesday: Halloween}
We continued to work on our number recognition skills by placing the correct amount of candy corn on the corn stalk. We still need a lot of work with our number recognition. We also painted spiders with our hand prints. We worked on opening and closing clothespins while practicing number recognition. We enjoyed a tasty treat from Ms. Kate: Halloween cupcakes!!! 🙂 Yummm
On Wednesday, we had lots of fun painting using acorns. We put paint, acorns, and paper in a container; then we shook the container. The children had a lot of fun shaking the container to make unique paintings!
