Getting creative with our vocabulary reviews -juniors creating games, short stories, and songs.
During small groups this week we have had children work on classification, which is the skill of sorting or grouping items by similar characteristics, such as colors, shapes or sizes. In one activity children were able to sort buttons by color or shape. In another activity children were able to work on identifying numbers and letters. We work on simple math throughout the day in preschool. We count to 20 when washing our hands, we have children help set the tables for snacks (counting out napkins, placemats, and cups), we count our friends when we come in from the playground and numerous others tasks that require counting.
We have been very busy at preschool this week. We are working on further developing our fine motor and handwriting skills by writing in journals, forming letters with Wiki Stix and coloring in our Emergent Readers book which is about buttons. Handwriting skills help children develop reading and spelling skills. Handwriting also helps with the ability to recall and remember information.
