Happy Wednesday!

Morning circle time – we had our special helper of the day adding the date to our calendar, we sang our morning songs, then added one more popcorn to our 100^th Day of school counting.

Snack – JKs were encouraged to eat a healthy snack.

Language – we reviewed our phonics song for all letters learned so far. Here is the link for our weekly Jolly Phonics songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K2rxtgQpd0

This is the song for letter Q: https://youtu.be/CZ6L8EmV3gg

Then we used the dry erase magnetic boards and the magnetic alphabet to copy letters and write our names. JKs also worked on their writing with phonics workbook.

Math/UOI – today we continued our summative about patterns. While I worked with students one on one, other students had a cutting and pasting activity about patterns.

Centers -  today JKs had the opportunity to have play dough during our purposeful play time. The benefits of play dough play are numerous and children of all ages have much to gain from engaging with play dough activities. Here are some of the benefits: fine motor skill development, creativity and imagination, hand-eye co-ordination, social skills, literacy and numeracy development.

Poem Practice – JKs are working hard at practicing the following when presenting their poem:

-         Projection

-         Pacing

-         Enunciation and Articulation

-         Memorization

-         Body Language

Poetry memorization builds vocabulary and comprehension. As students practice their poem presentation in class they are building presentation skills, which leads to a sense of pride, satisfaction and accomplishment. Keep up with practicing at home as well!  

Have a great evening everyone!
