MORNING MESSAGE~
Check out the question on today's Morning Message....
FREE CHOICE LEARNING~
Today we opened our "Overhead Station" and modeled how to use it. Parents--you may recognize this machine as one that your teachers used when you were in school. We have learned a way to allow students to use it for their learning. Currently, we have a math manipulative called "Tangrams" to use at the Overhead Station. Children choose a picture and manipulate the tangram shapes to fit inside of the picture.
At the Fine Motor Station, children can exercise their fine motor skills with the activity pictured below. Using a hole punch, children are to punch only the letter that is indicated on the paper.
We introduced a new activity today where children can apply their knowledge of letter sounds. First, a child chooses a letter to trace on to a piece of white paper. Next, the child draws 3 objects beginning with that letter sound. Finally, the child can label the pictures using "inventive spelling" (spelling the word the way he/she hears it).
In the picture below of the letter "A", the child drew an alligator (spelled "alagtr"), an ant (spelled "at) and an apple (spelled "apl").
Pictured below is the nursery rhyme, "Mary Had A Little Lamb" on a pocket chart. Children can put it together on their own using words and pictures.
Below each word of the nursery rhyme is a green dot to assist children in seeing the separation of words in the sentence. There is a red dot below the period, indicating the end of the sentence.
EXTENDED DAY PRE-K~
Today was the first time we had to do Indoor Recess due to the wet, rainy weather. Some children chose to put together puzzles as seen in the photos below. After lunch, the children had Swimming Class.
