Today, the boys and girls practiced counting, tracing and writing the number 18. With all of the loops and turns involved, it proved to be a tricky one! When making the 8, it help the children to identify the letter “s” that is made when half of the 8 is written. After realizing this, the boys and girls became masters of 18 in no time!
As the end of the school year approaches, we have been practicing and reviewing our letter sounds. The children applied those skills to decoding beginning letter sounds. This month, we have focused on A, G and S. In small groups, the boys and girls picked a picture and had to determine which letter sound it began with, A, G or S. They then glued it onto the appropriate column.
The very last vowel that we have been working on this month is the letter A. Today, the children worked with the letter A in several ways. They had the opportunity to write the letter, point out words that began with the /a/ sound, compare that capital and lowercase, along with creating their very own wooden letter A’s (that are at school drying!). It was an A+ day!
As we work our way to the number 20, the boys and girls have been working hard to learn the larger numbers. While working on the number 17, the children worked on writing the actual number, counting and one-to-one correspondence.
