I do not know how many parents have looked around the playroom.  Here are a few things we are doing.

 We work on the calendar each day.  

We talk about the Month, day of the week and the day.

The kids will need to comprehend today,

 yesterday and tomorrow.

For example today was Wednesday, yesterday was Tuesday and tomorrow will be Thursday.

They don't have it down yet but  repetition is what works.

 We talk about the time and what time we do things.

 This is the alphabet we work with on a daily basis.

 They can feel the letter when they trace them.  

I am going to start sending some of 

these types of letters home; for the letters

we will be learning each month.

 We work on name recognition and printing their name.

These things are done during circle time.

This week we are reading Hattie and the Fox.

(Children bow to each other)
It's going to be a happy day.

(Children turn around)



Shared Reading - We do thing in "Circle Time"


Shared reading is a time for you to “share” a picture book with your children/class. During this time, the children will focus on the pictures in the book and they will actively listen to the story.


During Shared Reading Experiences
children learn...
 How to make predictions
 How to actively listen
 How to participate in discussions
 Many different concepts about print
(including the following terms: author,
illustrator, title, cover, back and spine of
the book, title page, etc.)
 New vocabulary words
 Sequencing the events of a story
 Story elements (including characters, setting, beginning, middle, and end)
