Our Terrific Tuesday

I love activities that involve food!

We had our 3D shape sort today. We had Kix cereal (spheres), marshmallows (cylinders), Milky Way bites (cubes), Bugles (cones).  It was so much fun and tasty! 

We love story time in the Media Center! Don't forget to read 20 minutes each night! 

We started literacy centers today!  Whoop whoop!!!!  

Station 1- write the room 

The student walks around the room and writes one word per letter in the alphabet (this will take a while to complete ) 

Station 2- alliteration 

Students match the picture to the letter that makes the beginning sound. 

Station 3 - overhead 

Students matches uppercase and lowercase letters 

Math Stations and lots more

Great minds think alike!!

Mrs. Mittie (our hallway custodian) was out sick for a week 😞. She came back today!!!  We love Mrs. Mittie! 

Today was our first day of stations. We will rotate through these stations this week and repeat them again next week. 

Overhead station- students create or extend patterns using 2D shapes. 

Number recognition and lacing station- students will practice number recognition 

One to One correspondence - students are practicing counting one object per number. 

Pattern Blocks- students will manipulate 2 D shapes to fill larger shapes. 

Sorting by attribute- students will sort attribute pieces by size, color, thickness, and shape. 

Attribute Piece Cards

Sorting by attribute- students will sort buttons by size, color, thickness, number of holes and shape. 

Button Sort Cards

iPad- students will explore shapes through apps 

Smart Board- students will recognize and move shapes to fil the building. 

We learned about the cone! 

We also learned about the cylinder. 

During our writing time today we learned about spaghetti and meatball spacing!  

We also discussed alliteration (words that sound the same at the beginning) 

We had so much fun during our media center time! 

Literacy Stations

Rhyming Flip Books

I love flip books.  The kids really enjoyed making these rhyming flip books.   They choose the words and are able to draw and label their words. 

Alliteration 

The kids were able to choose a letter and the draw and label 6 pictures that started with that sound.  

*this child drew a giraffe for "j" , this works since giraffe starts with the /j/ sound 

Letter Sort

Are your letters tall, small, or do they fall?
