Yesterday we completed a "getting to know you" activity. The kids made beaded necklaces. Each bead represents things such as: brothers, sisters, pets, etc. Ask your child to show you the "cheat sheet" I gave them. With their necklaces on, they walked around and found people that were the same as them. They used a "business sheet" to record their names.
Today we started our Start Smart component of our brand new Reading series. The kids LOVED these short vowel cards! The mouth MOVES! It shows them how they are to move their mouth to make sounds! Super cool!
Next stage for making the short vowel sound.
Another view. This is short a.
Then we made a mess!!!
It was an artistic mess though. The kids made fabric apples.
They glued small pieces of material to an apple pattern.
This one is finished! Super cute! They will be hung up so that you can admire them at Back to School Night.
