Fri Feb 24th- #14

We began our Friday with letter E printing practice. Once they finished, the class played with big blocks, puppets and tweezers with puffs. I pulled the students aside to work on the number 14- printed the number as well as counted for an activity on the page. I also taught them that 14 in Spanish is catorce. Once the class cleaned up, Rome reviewed the colors and shapes with the class. For counting time, we exercised to 29- jumping jacks to 20 and then running from 21-29. We counted to 14 in Spanish and then reviewed the calendar and our date. The class sang months of the year and then we listened to the song in Spanish. We also listened to the days of the week in Spanish too. Rome helped with weather time and then we boogied to the ABCs. I did individual sight word practice with the students. All of the main sight words are in your child’s folder. The character names are not. Please work on the sight words with your child. If they are having a problem, review the sounds with them. This will help in their efforts in the story books they are reading. We also reviewed the sounds and sign for the letter E. We talked about the importance of E in our alphabet. Rome picked a wiggle song and then we eat snacks and explored our library books. Rome shared his show and tell and then we started with our lesson on the number 14. I had them all stand and we counted to 14 in English and Spanish. We did an art project with polka dotting 14 dots on a t-shirt worksheet. This project seemed to work our listening skills as it proved difficult for some. I will keep working on improving our listening skills in following verbal directions. For letter time, the class reviewed the sounds and sign for the letter E. The students then completed their Ellie Elephant worksheet with counting eggs and matching them to their correct number as well as coloring Ellie. After that I read a book about Earth and we discussed the different parts of the planet. The class then went back to the table to complete their E letter friend- Elephant. For the last story, I read The Enormous Elephant Show and we found the pictures that began with E. After that, I had the class line up, gave them their stamp and we were done for the week!
