With our first Sound of the Week being /p/, our friend Bryce was very punctual about bringing his items in from home! He brought in such items as popcorn, paint, a picture, a pair of pants, Planters nuts, puzzle pieces, a plane, a police pilot, a pencil, peanut butter, juice pouches, and a few other items. Whew! What a perfect way to introduce our Language Arts curriculum!
As a class, we brainstormed more words that begin with the /p/ sound. Those words included pie, puppy, pot, pizza, pickles, pancake, prayer, please, potato, pumpkin, picnic, puppet, plate, push, pull, peaches, penny, peace, etc.
We also had a popsicle party, made pig puppets out of paper bags, played with play-dough brought in by our friends, were introduced to (AB) patterns during math time, watched a video on the letter P and it's sound, sang along to Pete the Cat, read The Pig's Picnic and other books that emphasize the /p/ sound. There were a couple of work pages that we completed as well. We hope the next sound we are introduced to is as exciting as the /p/ sound!!!
Nature Walk
We went on a nature walk this week, and it just so happened that we saw some plants, purple and pink flowers, pinecones, pine trees, and other things that begin with the /p/ sound. We were very excited!
With magnifying glasses in hand, as a real scientist would have it, we took a stroll around our pond and through the woods to see what observations we could make about our school environment. We took pictures and recorded our observations when we returned to our classroom. These observations will be filed into the Science section of our portfolios.
Please take a look at some of the photos to see some other amazing things we have been working on in Pre-K.
