The other day students worked in pairs to play a letter game. One partner hid the object and the other found the hidden object by identifying the letter cup they believed it was hiding under! It was a big hit!!! #takingturns #learningfromeachother #learningourletters

@preschoolstars @jacobwelchans Amazing!!!! Such a great idea!!!

[Heather Werning @PreKRocketeers]

Today in small groups we practiced painting letters in snow!!! With this group we focused on providing the students with a sound and they made the corresponding letter. #OGStrategiesinPreK

Finding objects in corn and sorting them based on beginning sound in the sensory tub this week. Great way to review our previously learned letters and letter sounds!

Such a great time at the Moulton Literacy and Movie Night tonight! I had so much fun making connections with my current families and hearing how past families are doing! #learningourletters

[Heather Werning @PreKRocketeers]

So I found these wipable alpha-friend booklets where you circle the objects that begin with the corresponding letter sound while cleaning out at the end of last year and set them out today at literacy. It was a huge hit and such a great way to practice beginning sounds.

Students were forming letters with playdough during center time today. Building fine motor skills & letter recognition. #preschool #finemotor

Adults weren't the only ones casting votes yesterday! The votes are in and our pumpkin will have triangle eyes, oval nose, and a rhombus mouth! #learningourshapes

[Heather Werning @PreKRocketeers]

Nothing beats the look on students faces when cleaning out a pumpkin! 😂 We are studying Pumpkins and Apples throughout our five senses theme and yesterday we explored our sense of touch! ✋👂👀👃👅

[Heather Werning @PreKRocketeers]

We are in the midst of our Five senses theme and we have been busy making pumpkin, apple, and because a student insisted blueberry pies in the home center. #looseparts #5senses

Our Stem Challenge at the science center last week was...Can You Make A Gate that holds 5 Little Pumpkins? #problemsolving #preschoolscience #STEM

[Heather Werning @PreKRocketeers]

Just a few of the amazing speakers that I had the privilege of listening to over the past 3 days! So pumped to begin applying what has been learned and taking our PLCs to another level! @SolutionTree

[Heather Werning @PreKRocketeers]

Love when fellow team members have their talents with us. Our students were surprised that Mr. Skylar could play the guitar!!! 🎶

Gem counting! Flip over a card, state the number, paint the number in the sand, and then count out that many gems to place in the sand! #numeral&quantityconnection #looseparts

[Heather Werning @PreKRocketeers]

And so today our Lexia journey begins!!!!

[Heather Werning @PreKRocketeers]

The literacy center was the go to center for day with a ton of new name activities involving loose parts! Anyone have any loose parts ideas for the block center? #looseparts #imaybeobsessed
