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.

Language – we sang our phonics song for all letters A-Z. Here is the link for our Jolly Phonics songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K2rxtgQpd0

This week we are learning the name, sound and formation of letter Z.  

JKs practiced forming the letter z using play dough. Then they had some time to work on their fine motor skills by using play dough cutters.

Math/UOI – today we had our 3D show and tell. Students did great at describing their item. After that, we worked in groups and categorized real life objects into the correct shape (cylinder, sphere, cone and cube).

Centers – Today students explored puzzles during our purposeful play time. Puzzles are great to support the development of the following skills: hand-eye co-ordination, fine motor skills, shape recognition, memory and problem solving.

Have a great evening!
