MWF 3's Class:
This week, we read the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and learned about the letter B! We learned how to build, write, and sign the letter B. We practiced making the letter B sound and identified words that begin with B. We also started our letter books which we will be working on all year by painting our hands to look like an apple for the letter A and a butterfly for the letter B. Once we have learned about all the letters, we will bind all our letter book pages together to make a special preschool keepsake to read at home. We practiced using scissors by making cuts into the palm leaves of coconut trees, then we worked on identifying the letters in our name by stamping our names on a coconut tree. We also sorted letters that are in or not in our names, as well as searched for our name and letters in the sensory table. During centers, we played a fun Chicka Chicka Boom Boom letter and letter sound recognition game, built our names out of playdough, and completed a giant alphabet puzzle in the hallway! Next week, we will be learning about feelings and the letter C! Here are some picture highlights from our week in 3's:
This week, we learned about fall and the letter L! We identified signs of fall and changes that occur in the fall. We focused on why leaves change colors and why some trees lose their leaves in the fall. We enjoyed a fall scavenger hunt outside, made leaf rubbings, and played in a fall harvest sensory tub. We also learned that fall and autumn are synonyms, then worked on identifying other words that are synonyms. We have been focusing on recognizing the sight words "I see" and reading a book that follows a pattern, as well as reading a book by reading the pictures. You can practice with the mini-books "I See Fall" at home! We created decorative fall wreaths and followed patterns to build fall things with legos. This week, we began working on our letter books by turning the letter L into a ladybug. Each week, we will add a new page to put together a preschool portfolio for the year! On Thursday, we observed a wooly bear caterpillar, and our class named him "Fuzzy Biscuit." Next week, we will start our exploration of apples and learn about the letter F. Here are some picture highlights from the week:
