Jolly Phonics:
This week we learned about the /i/
sound! The children enjoyed
listening to a story, singing a song,
and learning the /i/ sound motion
(wiggle your fingers at the end of
your nose like whiskers).
We continued learning about pumpkins.
We have been patterning our calendar
using pumpkins and fall leaves. We have
been continuing to work on sequencing
how pumpkins grow too.
We also measured the width of the
pumpkins and were sorting which
pumpkins were wide and which were
thin.
This week we had a
blue point drill. We
practiced being safe in the
classroom with the lights off and a level 0
voice.
We also had our reading buddies come
in! They read us a story and we learned
how to pet a dog safely (ask the owner
“may I pet your dog,” let the dog sniff your
hand, pet the dog’s back)
