Letter Fun!

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!


We have had a great week reading Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.  We read the story and answered simple comprehension questions about what happened in the story.  We talked about times we had fallen and who helped us up!  In the story the letters fall out of the tree and the uppercase letters come to help the lowercase letters back up!

At circle we also sang our Handwriting Without Tears song "Mat Man."  Here is a picture of Mat Man when we are finished singing!




After circle we worked on our different letter sounds by coloring a coconut tree and stamping letters on the tree.  We also worked on recognizing our initial uppercase letters in our names.  Miss Lorraine helped the students place fall stickers on the outline of the letter. 

When we were done with practice centers, we played on the floor with our ABC train.  The children had to put the train cars in ABC order and then worked on articulating objects correctly and then placing the object in the train car that had their initial sound (ex: the cookie went in the "c" car).  



What a great week we had!  Thank you for sharing your children with us!  Please check out our "Shelfari" on the right.  We will keep books posted that we have used in speech therapy.

Farm Fun!

Miss Lorraine and I wrapped up August and began September with a fun farm unit! 

At opening circle we read BIG RED BARN by Margarent Wise Brown.  We worked on intial and final consonants in animal names and animal sounds. 

In the practice center the children used farm scene stickers to re-create the story on a piece of green paper (the great green field).

In the art center students colored a barn red and chose animal cut-outs to glue onto their barn picture.

In closing, the children played cooperatively with Little People Farm toys and in closing circle we sang, "The Farmer in the Dell."

Miss Lorraine and I enjoyed our little trip to the "farm" and are already planning for Fall with Apples, Leaves, Pumpkins, and even Alphabet practice. 

Phonology preschool will meet the weeks of September 12, 19, and 26th! 

Have a great week!
