Today was an exciting day in Ms. Cari’s Transitional Kindergarten classroom!
Students kicked off the morning practicing their blending skills and finding the first sound in words. The "sound hunters" moved around the classroom hunting for letters matching the sounds in their classmates' names and checking in with friends to determine beginning sounds. Students practiced their "strokes" to build essential handwriting skills by practicing their curves to make c's in red salt. Ms. Cari shared information regarding their end-of-day play-based centers which have a current theme of doctor’s office. This theme perfectly aligns with the CKLA curriculum unit, All About Me, where they are exploring the human body and the 5 senses! Through these hands-on centers, students practice sharing materials, using friendly language, and learning how to play well with others.
A huge shoutout to Ms. Cari for thoughtfully connecting hands-on play directly to the curriculum, and to our TK students for working so hard today! Keep up the great work!
