We have completed our first full week in the Pre-K class and I couldn’t be happier in how well we have settled into the daily classroom routine. We started our Math and Literacy centres and all of the students did an excellent job! In language we were busy with many activities with our names. We also had the opportunity to start using the computer. In Math we did many centres based around one to one correspondence.
Next week will be having similar centres based around our names and starting to explore parts of our bodies. On Tuesday I will send home the “Aa Book,” please let your child read it to you a few times over the week and once you are done with it could you send it back to school. Every week we will be completing one of these books and they will go home the following week.
What we did in our centres this week.
