Reading Center

Meeting - Calendar: Days of the week, months of the year, counting 1-20, shapes, colors, weather and rhyming.

Math - In math -fingerprint the correct # of coconuts in the chicka Boom tree... #'s 1-5. There are lots of counting activities 1-5 and also books about counting to 5!

Home/Dramatic play - there are metal cookie sheets with letter stickers and #'s that the kids need to match with the magnetic letter! They can also find the letters in their name! After they are finished with all 3 cookie sheets they can use their imagination and explore the center!

Science- The children are given a spoon with holes and I tell them to go diggin' for the golden letters! The wheelbarrow has rice and sparkly letters in it! When the child "digs"out a letter they need to write what letter they pulled out on their paper then put it in their bucket! Great Fine motor actvity!

Listening/Writing- In this center the children are going to 1st listen to the the Book Bisquit goes to School by Alyssa Capicilli. When they are finished... They can do the "read the room" Chicka Boom paper to see how many words they can find!

Fine Motor - the clothesline activity is 1st! They need to place the #'s 1-5 on the clotheline in numerical order! Then, they can manipulate the many puzzles, blocks, and manipulatives in the workstation!

Well... It is almost time for my little darlins to come into my classroom! I am sooooo EXCITED!! We are going to have such a fun year. I wanted to show you some pics of my workstations for the 1st week of school! We are doing Chicka Chick Boom Boom workstations! Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. is a wonderful book full of letters, rhyming and FUN!
