The Jolly Phonic Sound

 

The sound for this week is the "m" sound. In order to assist the children to blend sounds together, each day on the Daily Message (which I do for the morning and afternoon group), I plan on writing the following:

 

____ en       _____ an     ____y     _____ e   etc.   Then we will do each of the words in the following manner. For example, the first one I say:   this part of the word is "en" put "m" at the beginning and the word is "men". If a JK wants to answer the riddle I say:  this part of the word says en put a m at the beginning and the word is   m   en. The STAR for the day gets to take the Daily Message home and you will see how this works. If your child is a SK practise this strategy with your child periodically.

 

 

 

 

Materials Wanted

 

I am still collecting small boxes and tubes and other recyclable materials that can be glued in order to create a beautiful structure. The children are loving this centre which is open every Friday. Be sure to congratulate your child on the creation and ask them to share what they made and what it can be used for. Monday is the day the children bring their creations home, since the glue is dry and things are stuck together.
