We have connected our love for play to all of our learning this week.
Fundations
We asked the question, What do you like to play with?
We practiced responding to the question, I like to play with ____ .
We built a sentence using the interests of our peers; Lyra likes to play with Leo!
Reading
We have connected our reading strategies to our sentences about play. We have practiced using more than one power this week; pointer power, picture power, and sound power.
When we use all of our powers we point to the word we are trying to solve, we get our mouths ready for the beginning letter sound, and we check the picture- helping us to read the word.
Writing
We thought of things that we like to do in Kindergarten, using our ideas to plan a teaching book about Kindergarten. The children planned across pages and shared an idea for each page. Lucy surprised us with her idea of we love to spell, but she does love writing words!
1. We like to count.
2. We like to play.
3. We like to build.
4. We love to spell.
We practiced stretching words like rubber bands, using sound power to listen for letter sounds. We will finish our class teaching book on Monday and share pictures on the blog of our writing next week!
Academic Choice
We introduced additional building materials this week, enriching our daily play experiences!
Elsie, Lyra, and Acadia worked in the block area, using wooden letter tiles and sticky notes to add labels to their structures.
We like to build and we can use sound power when labeling our buildings; Flower, Green House, Park, Garden, Roof Top Garden, Gems...
We can count and show how many using dominoes.
Brianna wanted to count how many large dominoes in our classroom.
She found the number 30 on our 100's chart and added a label to show how many.
Asa was working with a rhyming puzzle and challenged himself to count how many pieces a different way; by two's! He counted how many pieces by two's, adding a label for each match.
Lucy and Xalya have been working with our new letter stamps. Inspired by a peer, they wanted to create all of our Fundations cards using stamps and their own drawings.
Outside
Many of our play sentences were inspired by our experiences on the big playground this week.
We like to . . .
So much fun leading to so much learning! A great week.
