Have a great weekend!

Centers – Today JKs had letter manipulatives as part of the purposeful play time. Letter manipulatives gives children a way to interact with the alphabet through hands-on play. They are able to feel the shape of the letter (curves and lines) and arrange multiple letters to form letter strings or words.

Have a great evening!

Centers – today JKs had different types of blocks to explore. Blocks are great for developing the following: problem solving, imagination, self expression, mathematics, creativity, science, self –esteem, social and emotional growth.

Happy Monday!

Morning circle time – we had our special helper of the day adding the date to our calendar and leading us on our morning songs. Today is Monday, so we had our sharing time where each student had the chance of sharing what she/he did over the weekend. This is a great opportunity to practice self-regulation as students take turns talking.

Reading Buddies – During reading buddies, students will benefit from:

·       hearing stories read-aloud (modeling of reading fluency, phrasing and expression)

·        having conversations with an older student about topics that interest and involve them (extending their vocabulary, oral language abilities)

·        having regular opportunities to practice familiar reading with 1:1 assistance

·        enjoying fun, positive experiences with ‘big kid’ who is now a recognizable face in the school community

Snack – JKs were encouraged to eat a healthy snack.
