ALL ABOUT LETTER D

A special thank you to Lynley , Waylon, and Catherine Joyce for taking time out of their day to make our day special.

Everyone loved meeting Ruthie, Pepper , Zeus and Rhea. We were thrilled to have these dogs visit our classroom.

D IS FOR DUCK CALL and DUCK DECOY

The children were fascinated by the sound of the duck calls. Each child had to wait patiently for their turn to shake a duck call. We counted duck decoys and duck calls , and we learned that a duck hunter needs camouflage clothes. A special thank you to Mr. Ribble for giving us a WOW moment.

Hide and Peek - Recognize Quantities Without Counting

This week we played Hide and Peek. This game was a hit! One child hid the blocks under a tub and the other child peeked. The peeker had to tell the class how many blocks were under the tub. We played this game several times this week.

Benefits of this game -

The ability to recognize quantities at a glance is an important skill for preschool children to develop. When children can identify a number without counting it , they understand and have internalized it. With this skill they move easily to performing operations with numbers.
