September 23
Friday, September, 23 2011
It seems like there is a sickness going around the Pre-K’s this week and consequently we have a few students away. Could you please encourage your child to get adequate sleep and eat well, so I can have full healthy class at school.
Last Friday I sent home some play dough that we made in class and I hope everyone had a chance to play with it. It was a lot of fun to make and today we used the play dough again to learn about primary colours. If you have an opportunity this week could you please ask your child to spell their name with it. We have done this many times at school and any time spent at home reinforcing what I do in the classroom will significantly benefit your child. If you want to extend it even farther ask your child to spell the names of other students in the class.
Over the past week I have begun my first assessments of the students. My first assessment is a basic understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each student. This then allows to me see what we need to focus on in the coming months.
Next week I will be starting “Treasure Bag,” this is my version of show and tell. Every night a child will get an opportunity to take home the bag and put something in it. You and your child can choose anything they want to put in it. More instructions will be in the bag and this is the chance for the students to bring in a toy from home. Could you please refrain from sending toys to school at other times because I would hate to see them get broken or lost.
What we did in our centres this week.
Literacy Centres
1. Phonics book Cc.
2. Guided reading with a teacher.
3. Computer story “Who Likes the Rain” and phonics games.
4. Tracing names.
5. Family Trees.
Math Centres
1. Birthday cakes cut and paste activity.
2. Dice rolling and sand writing.
3. Memory with cards.
4. Math one to one correspondence books.
Like always, if you have any questions or concern you can always write me an email at bsharp.his@gmail.com or come by and speak to me in person.
Cheers
