Today we continued our work on the letter Kk by piecing together a koala bear who loves leaves and the letter Kk.
We also took turns practicing writing the letter Kk on the dry erase board. The kids really loved getting to write on the teacher's board.
We also rotated through some new hands-on centers Mrs. Jones created. Today we worked at the color matching center where we had to match the color coded clothes pins to the matching pipe cleaner rings. This activity is great for learning our colors, but more importantly, for building strength in our fingers and honing our fine motor skills.
We also utilized a similar concept at the sight word center. The students took flashcards with the sight words written on them and matched the letter clothes pins to spell the words.
As always, we made time for puzzles, one of our favorite small group or independent activities.
In honor of the letter Kk, we read Mr. Katapat's Incredible Adventures, a wonderful book about the journeys that reading can take us on.
Ella was our leader today. She did a great job!
Finally, we celebrated Sydney's 5th birthday with delicious cookies!
See you tomorrow!
