Letter Learning /k/
K says /k/ like in kiss and kangaroo. When we write the uppercase letter 'K' we start at the top and draw a big line straight down then we jump back to the top and a little to the right of where we started the first time. We go in on an angle to the middle of our first line and then back out on the diagonal to the ground.
To draw the lowercase ‘k’ you start at the top draw a big line straight down. Then jump up to the middle and a little to the right of your first line. Go in on an angle towards your first line and when you touch the first line with your pencil go back out and down on the diagonal towards the home line.
Last Week:
Song: Little Snowflake
At centres we built with magnetic tiles.
We are learning to be architects, using our math and cooperating to make amazing creations.
We used the Lincoln Logs to create houses, stores and treehouses.
We engaged in sensory play through the use of water beads. We love the way they feel as they slip through our fingers. It is interesting to see how they fall when we pour them into different containers.
We are learning about symmetry in snowflakes.
We have been exploring with geoboards and elastics to create different snowflakes.
