4k had a great first week with Buddy the Elf joining our classroom! We all welcomed him with open arms! This week we worked hard on our letters and letter sounds. We did an activity called Polar Pals. I showed them pictures and we had to listen to the word to determine what letter the word starts with. We did really well listening for the letter sounds, and then we practiced writing those letters.
In writing center this week we were also introduced to the word THE. We read and colored a book all about arctic animals. Within the book, we searched and circled the word THE. They had a lot of fun finding the word and learning that letters out together make words. Some of my friends sat and wrote THE in their notebooks when they were done. :)
We also made a fun Olaf to hang in our classroom! We are all looking forward to the snow and being able to make a snowman of our own. This week in writing center we also used bendy-stix to form our letters. A lot of us formed the sticks to make our names!
