As a preschooler, the letters M and N are very tricky to decipher between. Building the letter N first, along with working on the /n/ sound, helps to transition to building the letter M. The /m/ sound is best described by rubbing your tummy and saying “mmmmmm.” The children enjoy learning this one! We also had lots of fun stretching our bodies and learning new yoga poses with Miss Laurel today!
We practiced using our scissors today! This helps the child with their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
Numbers one through five are the easiest for preschoolers to count because they are able to do those on their fingers. Once we move on to six, seven and eight, it gets a little trickier. Today, we focused on the numbers four, five, six and seven. Using barnyard animals and a pretend barn, we hunted for those numbers hidden in our barn. The children identified the number they found, then matched it with the corresponding animal on the paper.
We worked today in small groups on sequencing events. Sequencing is the ability to put the events of a story in the order in which they occurred. Teaching sequencing to early learners is important because logical order of thinking is fundamental to reading and everyday life.
We practiced our problem solving skills, teamwork, and fine motor skills during small groups today as we worked together on a giant floor puzzle of the farm.
