TERRIFIC TUESDAY 9-25-12


NEW FREE CHOICE ACTIVITIES~

 SOUND DISCRIMINATION ACTIVITY~Each week, we add a drawer of objects for the new letter sound.  Currently, we have a drawers for the /B/, /M/ and /T/ sounds.  For this activity, children choose 2 drawers of objects....
 
 ...this child chose the /B/ and /T/ drawers.
The child dumps out the objects from both drawers into 1 pile.
Next, the child divides the objects into 2 groups, based on the beginning sound of each object.
Once finished, the child puts the objects back into their correct drawers.

STORYTELLING~
Today we read the story, Shortcut.  Be sure to ask your child the following questions about this story...
~What is a shortcut?
~What does a freight train carry?
~What does a passenger train carry?
~What happened when the children in the story took the shortcut?
~Did the children in the story take the shortcut all the way home?
 
REPTILE OR MAMMAL?~
This week's "animal of the week" is a tiny turtle.  Today we discussed the fact that turtles are reptiles.  Our previous "animal of the week" animals were a bear and a monkey--both mammals.  On Wednesday, we will continue to discuss and learn about the differences and similarities between mammals and reptiles.
