Today I would like to share with you a very simple and useful idea from a versatile item from Target's dollar spot. Like many of you, I've been stalking all of the Target's in my area and adjacent towns in search for mini erasers, of course, word spinners, name templates, organization containers and whatever they have to offer, really! ! ! When I saw these magnetic letters, I thought of creating a simple center to practice letter identification and discrimination, and there's two versions of it. my younger students I chose to color code the letters based on the magnetic letters on the packet.
Today I'm starting a new blog series about the Power of Play in Preschool in the different centers of our classrooms. I strongly believe every early childhood classroom, daycare, and preschool, and kindergarten classroom should have a set of blocks available for students to explore and play. Block play and exploration promotes learning in all domains of the development of the child: cognitive, physical, and social-emotional and language. English language learners begin to make connections to their new acquire language as well practicing their expressive language.
Fast forward five years, here we are, enjoying teaching and enjoying this teaching community by supporting each other along the way. The wonderful people of Lakeshore Learning have donated this set of Our innovative blocks are translucent on all sides—giving kids an up-close view of magnetism in action! The set includes 36 durable plastic blocks in 2 shapes and 6 colors; each block measures 1 3⁄8". The fantastic people from Beddy's have donated a $100 gift card to spend on their fabulous Beddy's.
We explored wind using pinwheels, explore sunlight using One of the big issues was about healthy eating by having a plate party. My students investigated the big issue and identified which foods are healthy to eat everyday and names other foods that are only for sometimes. The big issue gave us an incredible idea to set up a mini dramatic play area to explore healthy foods. The big issue also served to check for understanding while our students played teacher and "quiz" one another about healthy food choices.
