Today we practiced writing the number one! We all went up to the dry erase board, one by one. Easy peasy, right? Then we went to the table and practiced again with watercolor crayons. The kids got to write as many ones on their paper as they wanted. Then, we gave them water, a brush and watercolors. They went to town. The "paintings" turned out nice! This marks are start on the focus of numbers.
We did an activity on the rug with magnetic numbers and letters (like you put on the fridge). They had to determine if the item they chose from the basket was a letter or a number. At this age, many children are confused and haven't quite made the distinction yet. Mrs. E. explained that a letter is something you read and a number is something you can count with. They all did very well. In fact, we were a bit surprised because it's a concept that often times comes later. Good job priceless kiddos!
Pur letter this week is "O" so our little ones made magic with the letter and turned it into an owl!
Madame Smail visited and was entertaining as per usual. The kids may share a trick she performed for them. It involved a candle, a flame and a canister with a secret compartment. So if you hear about "fire" you will know what it was from.
Thanks for a great day kids! See you on Thursday!
