We have been cheering words on our word wall with pom-pons everyone made. We chant the spelling of the words, then write them, taking the opportunity to learn how to spell these words and practice our handwriting skills. We also are using Elkonin boards to count the number of sounds (or phonemes) that we hear in words. We are using word chains where we write a word, change one letter in it and make a new word. This progresses through a chain of ten words. Children are using alphabet arcs to match letters and alphabet pockets to figure out the beginning sound in words. We have worked on rhyming books, both matching pictures to figure out the rhymes and generating our own rhymes that we will make into a classroom book. We also made Valentine's Day cards for our buddies and friends. We had a fun party near the end of a very busy day on February 14th!
