Recess and Lunch
Language – today we did a cut and paste activity where JKs had to
cut pictures which begin with the letter D. We practiced holding the scissors. The
opening and closing motion of cutting with scissors helps children develop the
small muscles in their hands otherwise known as fine motor skills. These muscles are crucial for holding a pencil
or crayons and gripping and manipulating objects. Cutting also helps develop eye-hand coordination as children hold
the paper with one hand and cut with the other while tracking the movement of
the scissors with their eyes. Another important skill that is developed through
cutting is bilateral coordination.
Bilateral coordination involves using both sides of the body at the same time
while each hand is performing different tasks.
Math – in math we used play dough and counters to practice *1:1 correspondence and we also used play dough to decorate cupcakes by matching the "sprinkles" to the correspondent number. *One to one correspondence is the ability to match an object to the corresponding number and recognise that numbers are symbols to represent a quantity. Young children often learn to count without having an understanding of one to one correspondence. This means that while they can count they may not understand the meaning or value of the numbers. Numbers and symbols are abstract for children so 1:1 correspondence is the connection between the symbol, the language and the quantity.
