“Experts in literacy and child development have discovered that if children know eight
nursery rhymes by heart by the time they’re four years old, they’re usually among the
best readers by the time they’re eight.” [Fox, M. (2001). Reading Magic. San Diego, CA:
Harcourt.]
Other skills we have worked on this week include:
- Exploring "Jack and Jill" "Old Mother Hubbard" and "Mary Had A Little Lamb" by learning about vocabulary words- fetch, crown, cupboard, bare, lamb, and fleece. Asking thinking questions- "What made Jack fall down?" "Why was it against the rule to bring a lamb to school?"
- Continuing learning about how to identify others feelings by looking at their face (happy, sad, angry, and surprised)
- Counting objects using one-to-one correspondence
- Math Circle- Taking away from four, take away stories, exploring different ways to make four
- Pairing images that go together from Nursery Rhymes we have learned. Students were given a card and were given the task to find the person with the card that went with their card.
- Social Studies- Essential Question: What do families to together for fun?
