The PreK class has been working hard on their big book this past week and a half. They were the authors and illustrators of the book, All About the Farm. They had a chance to read it to the Early 3’s class today after lunch and they did an absolutely wonderful job! Way to go!
Recognizing his/her name is most likely the first word that a preschooler learns. Once that is established, the next step is to learn the letters and the order they belong in. Today, we reviewed the order of the letters by matching them to the name that was written above. We then talked about what each letter was, and counted the amount of letters in his/her name.
Fall is a colorful time of year. Today, the children were able to express their creative sides with Ms. Lori while creating their own fall tree. The children discussed fall colors and why the leaves change colors. Using our fingers to paint is always a memorable experience!
Apples or….apples? Apples are a healthy snack, especially if you’re on the go. Today we learned about how our yummy snack can differ: dried apples. Using our taste buds and Smart Board, we made a graph that told us who liked fresh apples and who liked dried apples. The results? Fresh won by a landslide, but dried had a few votes!
As a preschooler, it is very common to mix up the letter N with the letter M. How do we fix that? Memorable experiences! Today, Ms. Lori worked with the children on the letter N. The children first practiced writing the letter, while discussing the sound it makes. Using real hay, the children then built a nest, using real hay, for Nellie the hen. As children recall these tactile experiences, they become more successful in deciphering between letters/sounds that can trip them up, such as N and M.
