We've been learning about animals and trees in the orchard this month with Mother Goose Time. In each thematic unit the kids get exposure to art, science, math, reading, etc.
Every month comes with different word families that the kids are able to build words with.
They look for sight words in the monthly I Can Read book.
Monthly games help reinforce the letters of the month.
Every letter of the month comes with a corresponding letter book.
Every monthly box comes with a book that introduces a character trait, this months was patience. We read the book during circle time and the kids made their own story about patience complete with a bear puppet.
The monthly journals the kids work in help reinforce the numbers, letters, color and shape of the month.
Games help introduce counting, number recognition, patterning, etc.
Every month comes with a new pattern to work on. The class worked together to figure out what would come next.
The puzzle that comes in every box is good for small group work and also individual use.
Every day has a new craft. We've made things like raccoon masks, porcupine puppets, oranges, and play dough porcupines in addition to many other crafts this month.
