Good Afternoon!
We have a student from Ivy Tech who is doing her practicum with us this semester. Miss Katie will be here until the beginning of May!
Max, Lucy, and Anna explored the use of their fine motor skills this morning as they took a wet cotton swab to essentially erase all of the uppercase letters that were written on the chalkboard. Several skills were being used here including fine motor skills, letter recognition, and communication. Lucy, who is an older preschooler, helped Max and Anna when they were unsure of a letter.
K.W.2.1: Write most uppercase and lowercase of the alphabet, correctly shaping and spacing.
In large group, we read ‘Dinosaur Alphabet Book’. We picked out several words in the story and as a group, we came up with many rhyming words. There were actual words and then a few nonsensical words thrown in there too! Anna said, “I feel like volcano and fire rhyme a little bit.” As a group, we talked about what rhyming words are and what they sound like.
K.RF.3.1: Identify and produce rhyming words.
The rest of our morning look a little something like this–
Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with butter and PPC clementines.
Lunch– Whole wheat noodles with butter and shredded chicken, PPC kiwi/clementines, and PPC cherry tomatoes.
PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with graham crackers.
Wee Sprouts– PPC snap peas/cherry tomatoes.
Have a great evening.
