This week, we began with more numbers! The children worked on their counting skills as well as their number identification skills. At first, we started with picking numbers and couting out how many fruits matched each number. After that, we moved onto independent work time and the children had small dice and fruit manipulatives. The children rolled the dice and then counted out that many fruits.
On Tuesday, we introduced patterning. The children and teacher began at the table and they practiced with making patters on the big white board. After about 5 examples, we went to the carpet and practiced making patterns together with differrent colored chips. After a few times of practice with this, the children worked independently to create their own patters. The children chose two colors of chips and worked to create their own patter with them. Our friends in our group are catching on so quickly to this new skill. Children were saying things like "this is so cool," and "I want do add more colors than just 2!"
On Friday, we focused on rhyming words. Before using cards or toys, the teacher asked the children how they knew words rhymed. The children remembered and said "the words sound the same." The children and teacher began the time with looking at cards that had different rhyming words on them. The children practiced saying the words while looking at the pictures and finding the matching rhyme. The children then got to match toys that sounded the same. The children were saying the words out loud and matching it with another toy that sounded the same.
