This week, small groups will read a book by Eric Carle. We will then “hang the clean laundry” in order from 1 – 20. I put up a “clothes-line” and the children will sort through the clean “shirts” to find all the numbers, 1 – 20, and hang them up with clothes-pins. This work reinforces number identificat0n, number sequencing and working as a team (and fine-motor skills).
Finally, groups will look through a box of toys/objects and name each one. When we name one we will also say the sound it begins with and what letter that is. (ie. cat, kuh, kuh, kuh, that starts with “c” or “k”). You can never do too much of this with your children. Learning the phonemic sounds of our alphabet is the foundation for success in reading.
