In the month of October, we have worked on two class themes so far. The first theme was all about family. We learned the members of our family, such as: mother, father, son, daughter, sister, grandma...and many more. We created a family tree to show how many people were in our family.
We also did matching games to recognize family members with speed.
Our second theme has been about the house. We have been learning rooms in the house and objects that can be found in the rooms. To incorporate the first theme, we play games to guess what family members are in what rooms. The kids are getting really good at telling the rooms of the house apart.
For phonetics we have learned about letters H through L. It has been important to have the kids work on writing skills. They can clearly identify big letters versus small letters. We do a lot of sorting activities to show how well we know the difference between big and small alphabet letters. To practice our letter sounds, the kids love to use flash cards! Each card has a picture and the kids yell out the beginning letter sound as quickly as they can. The competition is so fun for the kids :D
As Halloween gets closer, the kids are getting ready for their performance!!! They are very excited.
