The Early Preschool class has so much fun learning our letters. During “F” week, we learned how to distinguish the letter “F” from other letters of the alphabet. The help with this, I placed magnetic strips on the backs of several letters on fish shapes. The students were then asked to go “fishing” and catch letters. Once a fish was caught, students were asked if they found the letter “F or a different letter. If they found a different letter, they threw it back in the pond. This continued until all of the letter “F”s were caught..

 

 

In Pre-K we are starting to learn our phone numbers.  We have talked about many different reasons why it is a good idea to learn a home phone number or a phone number for mom or dad.  Some great responses were, “We need to know our phone number so that we can call it” and “We need to know our phone number in case we get lost”.  So, we’ve started practicing our phone number with a fun little jingle.  They kids smile from ear to ear as they sing and point to each number.

Each child has been given a paper cell phone with their name and phone number written on the back of it.  One activity we decided would be fun was to have each child cut out the numbers in their phone number and put the numbers back in the right order.  This was challenging but they did great!  Once they glued their number back in the right order they got to use their cell phone to practicing dialing the phone number and having a pretend conversation with mom or dad.  Once they dialed their phone number successfully they had to write the number on their paper.  They loved this and felt like such big kids!  We will continue practicing these phone numbers and hopefully be able to dial on a real telephone in the near future!
