Happy Tuesday!
One of our FAB’s this week focuses on how library/media centers are set up and organized. K/PREK1 headed to the library to find out. When we got to the children’s section of the library, we sat down to have a conversation about how books are organized. I pointed to the section we were next to and it happened to be the ‘F’ section. We talked about how all of the books in this section had an author who’s last name started with F! Maxwell quickly noticed that the letters around it were ‘D’ and ‘E’ and he was able to make the connection that the books are organized from A to Z.
We did a fantastic job using a ‘library voice’ and making sure we treated the books with respect. Friends searched by their favorite authors and picked out three books that they wanted to take back to Wee Friends!
K.1.19: Learn and apply knowledge of alphabetical order (first letter) when using a classroom or school library/media center. (2006 standard)
We reiterated this during group and talked about our experience that we had earlier in the morning!
PREK2 read a story and explored numbers during an activity before journal time. Miss Kim asked, “Franklin, can you go write your name under the card that has five stickers?”. After Franklin was able to find the correct sticker card, he used a marker to write his name!
It was all about books this morning. That is the most important thing for reading/writing progression! There were a few articles that I found that focused around reading being the most important part of language development but the one I attached I enjoyed the most! These children will EASILY sit and listen to five stories in a row, talking about the characters or the pictures that they see or even asking questions pertaining to the events in the book. Children’s wonder and curiosity are able to flow when they’re listening to stories.
Breakfast– Kix and fresh oranges.
Lunch– Refried beans and shredded cheese on whole wheat flatbread, fresh pineapple, and fresh pepper/broccoli.
PM snack– Cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese and fresh raspberries.
Wee Sprout– Fresh pepper/broccoli.
Have a wonderful evening!
