During our first days of school, we are beginning to build our community, learning about one another, and becoming comfortable with our daily routines. Please ask your child about friends they have made.
Highlights from our week...
Question of the Day Activity
During our “Question of the Day”, we develop skills in the area of Reading Foundations. For example, I asked the questions: What is your favorite fruit; What is your favorite color? The children respond in a complete sentence while they move their name under their answer choice. This activity also provides opportunities for mathematics as illustrated in the charts below.
Tour Of Our School
When we returned from visiting some important people at Braeside, the children placed the items that they were given on their David puppet. They thoroughly enjoyed this activity as well as listening to our books about David..
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Activity
This activity provided an opportunity to follow step by step directions as the children created their own Chicka Chicka Boom Boom tree.
In addition, this project enabled us to focus on learning each other’s names and getting to know one another. We also practiced spelling and counting the letters in our own name.
