We have officially become writers! Every single one of our young learners made an independent attempt to add letters to their work this week and many are now starting to listen for beginning, middle and ending sounds in the words they are recording. This is AMAAAZING progress for this point in the year! Woo hooo! If you notice your child experimenting with writing at home, please encourage all attempts and do not correct their work at this point in time. Risk-taking is a huge part of becoming a writer!

"Fire Station" 

We learned a new math game this week called Lucky Number! This was a hit! The kiddos could not get enough of this game. They had so much fun with it they were completely unaware of how many math skills they were learning :) This game helps to reinforce the early number concepts of subitizing (recognizing the number of objects in a set without counting) and number printing to 6. Many even chose to play this game during center time. 

 

We also spent time this week talking about our talents. Children had no problem coming up with multiple things they are really good at and were proud to share with their classmates. 

 (you should definitely zoom in to read these ones)

As a continuation of our conversation about talents, the morning class came up with ways that they could use their talents to contribute to our classroom community. 

The children enjoyed a few new classroom centers this week and as always, continue to create center activities of their own. Following the passions and interests of each and every child is one of my favourite things about being a teacher. 

 

 

These magical bubble moments are such a beautiful example of why I love what I do...

Can't you just hear the giggles?!?
