Here at Cupertino Little Stars, we are currently working on the letter O and the number 10. This week olives, ostriches, officers (police) and octopuses are the objects of our studies, as well as ovals and octagons. Our winter theme is also continuing.
Our daily schedule has been disrupted by lots of rain, so we have spent free tim with fishing for letters, sewing activities, block building, cooking and household toys, book and magazine reading, music, train track and road building for our small vehicles, etc.
All of the children hae been working hard on their learning activities. The reading and writing are going really well. The eldest four year old has now read 584 books and the three year old has read 23 books. She got her first reading prize and was quite proud of herself. The younger four year old has read 19 books and is looking forward to receiving her first reading prize. She also looks forward to getting on the "big chart" which will happen when she completes her first 20 books. Students earn a book prize for every 20 books read, and they can take these books home and add them to their personal library. They are also doing very well on thier math and numbers.
The two year old is reviewing colors and learning more complicated shapes. He is doing a good job on his tters and reading activities.His language is exploding rapidly. He is working on counting to 30.
We did an evaluation of dominant hand strength today. Everyone tested strongly on hand muscles for writing and drawing from all of our fine motor activities.
Till next time!
