This morning as our K1 kiddos arrived I asked them to practice writing their name - the first thing they will do every day at my house. Once I got downstairs I pulled out the trampoline and asked who would be the first one to do 20 jumps after finishing writing their name? Would you believe that we finished writing our names about 7x faster than the last three times they've been over? (Unpictured kids were simply jumping with such fury that the blurry picture wasn't worth saving.)
We moved next into writing in our journals about our favorite toy. When we came to a word we didn't know how to write the whole class helped to say the word, catch it in the air, and stretch it out slowly so the writer could get the correct letters written down.
As each child finished their writing they moved into puzzles. It was fun to watch them work together and help each other try the harder puzzles.
This week our math is all about shapes and location words. We traced the basic shapes and then cut them out. We read a fun location word book and put the hiking character in the correct location on each page.
I was really impressed with everyone's reading today. We worked through our lessons and learned some new books. Keep up the fantastic work at home. I have them for such a short time that A TON of their learning is happening with your help at home. Thank you!
