We started the month celebrating the birthday of Dr. Seuss. We had guest readers from Cardinal Ritter High School. Never is a story read aloud in our class without a student partner sitting close by. They love to be up close to the book. Our guest reader was no exception.
While our guest was reading I was taking pictures with my phone. A few friends discovered what I was doing. Amazing that they new how to change the camera on my phone to take selfies.
Which led to Mrs. Faulk bringing in her selfie stick. They actually chose to leave their play stations to take pictures. Funny kids.
We added a new twist to one of our favorite games 'Don't Break the Ice'. Numbers and letters are now written on the ice cubes. The children can only tap a cube if they know the letter, sound, or number.
We also brought back on of our favorites, writing words hidden under the table.
We added a new twist to this activity too. Each morning we write a sight word on our door and during play time the children look for the secret sight words hidden in the room. While not formally assessed in Preschool, you will see recorded the amount of sight words (from those we have introduced) your child is able to read consistently. We have a total of 20 sight words right now and most students are able to read at least half.
Our seventh grade buddies stopped by one morning to plan an Easter Egg Hunt for the kiddos. We also colored eggs together. I am not sure who had more fun, the bigs or the littles.
Hopefully your little one shared the Easter story with you. They loved the story so much, that some of them even painted the story during play time.
We have had many visitors to our class bird feeder. We have a boy and girl cardinal, two squirrels we have named Picky and Nutty, two ducks, and now a goose. We love to look out the window at our visitors.
