We only have a few weeks left before school is out {tears…}, So last week I did some assessment of the kids to see what areas they needed that last little push of knowledge in before school is over on the 26th.
One of the things I noticed through my assessment is that most of the kiddos write their whole name in uppercase letters, so today we practiced writing it in lowercase letters. Habits are a little hard to break, so it has been a little challenging for them to change the way they have done it all year, but they are all doing so well with it, and catching on so quickly!
After they completed the name worksheet, it was more review…
Online there are so many resources. I combined two worksheets, the first one they could associate the letter A with apple, alligator, and angel. Then they practiced properly writing the letter A in uppercase and lowercase letters. This was done as a final review of the letters A,B,C,D,E,F,and G.
For my Parents: Please continue to work with them on the lowercase b, and d. These are a little confusing for some, and they write them backwards.
There was a lot of busy work for the kids. And so we had to take a few breaks… 1 was snack. Thanks Emma for the wonderful go-gurts. They were the perfect treat.
Another break was for puzzle time…
Each student was given 4 letter puzzle pieces. I like this because they had to work together to create something wonderful. After some great teamwork they were able to put the Alphabet Train together. It is over 10feet long. They were very excited and proud of themselves when it was all finished. What an accomplishment.
We also watched a little bit of our site words movie. The kids were acting out what the letters were doing… I thought it was just too cute not to include.
Here they are stirring the magic potion…with the word “his.”
Here they are being little pigs in a mud bath…with the little “on” pig
For my parents: I sent home with your children a registration form for the Summer Preschool Program. It needs returned with the $25.00 registration fee before Sunday May 15, 2011, if you are interested in enrolling them in the summer program. Thanks for all you do!
