Good Afternoon!

We started off our day by counting out syllables in our name for PREK1 sign in. Each child came up to the sign in board where we clapped their name out in syllables. After we figured out how many syllables their name had, they taped their name under the appropriate group!

K.RF.3.2: Orally segment words into syllables.

Later on in group, we read ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’. I had pulled several different foods that were focused on in the book and wrote them on notecards. As a group, we counted the number of syllables for each word. We used two different techniques: clapping syllables out in each word and placing our hand on our chin to see how many times our mouth moved when saying a word. When we were done, we noticed that the ‘1 syllable’ group had the most words!

This morning our welcome activity invited friends to experiment with tracing shapes and letters using black pebbles.  Several friend’s enjoyed finding the letters in their name and building those letters with the pebbles.  Others made shapes, counted how many stones made a line or turned a circle of pebbles into a smiley face!  Plenty of fine motor and early reading skills were engaged during this activity.

We hope you enjoy a few more photos from the day…

PREK2: Today during group we talked about paying attention to our sense of sight.  We looked carefully around the classroom and reported one thing we saw to make a class list.  We also sang “the name song” and clapped the syllables in our name.  We counted how many syllables were in each friends name as we went around the circle.
