Today we had a very very busy day. We started by doing a lower case/upper case letter matching activity. Then the boys and girls worked more with additon story problems as well as reviewing patters (simple and growing).
After math in language arts we learned the new sight word here. We also learned the letter G/g, and the sound /g/. The boys and girls completed an acitivty practicing the proper way to make a g, and writing the word here.
We worked on isolating the ending sounds of words. I said a word and the children told me the sound they heard at the end.
In order to be able to go and watch the other kindergarten classes holiday program tomorrow, we did another math lesson. In this one, the boys and girls worked to mathematize and enact family experiences for additon, subtraction, and partners (I told them stories like, "Colton was on a walk. His brother ran ahead, and his mother walked behind. How many total people were on the walk?" We also acted these stories out, which was really fun for the kids :) ) Then we talked about partners in math. What partners make up 5? (3 and 2; 1 and 4). What partners makes up 6? (3 and 3; 4 and 2; 5 and 1).
Then the students went on a number hunt to create awarness of numbers around them. They wrote the numbers 1-10 on a paper, then walked around and circled the number when they found it. They had fun doing this!
I pushed them really hard today and I heard lots of "I'm tired!" towards the end. :) I'm really proud of them for working so hard and getting so much accomplished today.
Looking forward to a more relaxed day tomorrow :)
