NEW LEARNING CENTERS

We introduced new learning centers today. Below are photos and descriptions of the new learning centers...


~RHYMING~
Children match together the rhymes using the picture clues or the words.

~PRODUCING AND RECOGNIZING NUMBERS~
Using magnetic numbers, children produce and recognize 2 or 3-digit numbers depending on their knowledge and skill.
~MATCHING/IDENTIFYING LOWER CASE LETTERS~
Children match the lower case letter to the upper case letter and are then asked to identify the lower case letters in random order.

~SYLLABLE SEGMENTATION~
Children determine how many claps (syllables) are in the words below. They then put the corresponding number of "chips" on the card to represent how many claps (syllables) the word has.
~ENDING SOUNDS~
Children are asked to hear and identify the ending sound of the word and put the corresponding letter on the card.
~GRAPHING~
Children sort vehicles into groups; count the number of vehicles in each group; and then graph their results. Children are asked to "read" the graph by indicating which type of vehicle has the most and which type has the least. They are also asked if any of the groups or vehicles are equal.

~TANGRAMS~
Children practice and develop spatial reasoning skills using the math manipulative, tangrams.
~GEOBOARDS~
Children practice and develop spatial reasoning skills using the math manipulative, geoboards.
