Children also worked on identifying upper and lower case letters G, H, I, J, K by matching upper case to lower case leaf letters.We're Going on a Leaf Hunt and types of apples children remembered from last week's lesson. As I wrote each word I also said the letters in the word and then had children recite them back to me. I had some children come up and draw illustrations under the word later in the day. We also made a Word Chart of words associated with fall. Children were able to identify many words! The words we came up with included leaves, apple pie, apples, apple cider. With some guidance, we then broke up these words in sub categories such as types of leaves as we referred back to our book
Next week we are starting Handwriting Without Tears. I am very excited to blog about how child respond to this program!
Finally, here are some pictures I'd like to share!
