Kindergarten Enrichment 9/25/06

September 25, 2006

In the past week we have been working on the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and related projects. Because I see a need to continue identifying uppercase and lowercase letters we will extend this theme for another week or so. Please have the children practice writing the letters at home as well. All activites fall into our daily routine categories.

Monday: ABC Bingo/ Painting the Alphabet
Tuesday: How many letter matches can you make?/ Alphabet toss and catch
Wednesday: Writing the alphabet/ Letter and Phonics Songs
Thursday: Alphabet Memory Game/ Alphabet Hunt
Friday: Alphabet Hunt continued/ Alphabet Free Exploration

My apologies I inadvertantly saved as a draft last weeks enrichment blog. Sorry :(

This week we will have a variety of activities around the letter Mm and the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. We will work on recognizing and matching uppercase and lower case letters. We will also work on writing skills, letter and number recognition, and music (patriotic songs). We will work on a M & M Math page ( graphing) and continue our study of rules and the five senses. Reminders: Write your childs name on their sweatshirts and jackets.
