One of my goals this year is to explore the Geography materials in more depth with my students. One way I plan to do this is with the help of a set of Geography Command Cards. Hopefully the use of such cards will not only provide meaningful points of interest for the students, but also act as springboards for using materials and conducting individual research. The cards I have printed for are available HERE for free. Thanks to the generous donations of many thoughtful teachers, this site provides many materials available for instant download. The Geography command cards range in complexity of tasks, which is helpful in being able to meet the needs and interests of our mixed age setting. While some cards invite children to explore Land and Water Forms, globes, maps and various extension actives, other tasks include recording information in a 'Land and Water Booklet.' To that end, I decided to make a number of 'Geography Booklets' for this type of work in the cultural curriculum: Covers were made with a little help from Google Images and shipping labels. Inside each booklet is a blend of lined writing paper and unlined pages for drawings, collages, etc. The button and twine closures remind me of genuine field work journals which adds a unique point of interest (not to mention I was able to use up a bag of buttons I have had for quite some time!). As the children work with the Geography materials, these booklets will be filled with their own work and recordings - outlines of maps and puzzle pieces, pictures of land and water forms, lists of continents and countries, interesting facts children wish to record, and anything else that may come up.
We had a wonderful first month here at Smarty Pants Preschool! First, I must tell you how much I already love your children! I thoroughly enjoy having them in class and I’m starting to see each of their little personalities emerge as they interact with each other and learn. As I mentioned at our “Back to school night” I use the School District’s RUBRIC form (kindergarten readiness diagram) as a guideline while I’m teaching. We dove right in and we’ve been busy working on several things throughout this month! We have been busy: writing our name, patterning, hand eye coordination activities such as: tracing, lacing & cutting with scissors, sorting by color & shape, opposites, rhymes, beginning math & counting, Mastered Letters A,B, & C and more. Each of these skills were introduced using this month’s THEME: “Life on the Farm”, as you will see in the pictures! The children have done wonderful adapting to our routine here at Smarty Pants and they know just what is coming next at all times! They get excited for snack and recess & really enjoy arts & crafts time as well! They love paint…and ask if we can PAINT SOMETHING daily. It is a lot of fun watching them be social and experience a structured learning environment, some of them for the first time. They are making remarkable progress! Take the time to look at the worksheets I send home and the work we complete in class. This will be a good indicator of what they can practice at home! Enjoy a sneak peek into our classroom! --- September was a FULL month! We have lots of fun activities planned for October. Mark your calendars: October 18th- Black Island Farms Field Trip October 20th- NO SCHOOL UEA break October 27th- Halloween Costume Party! As always, feel free to email any questions my way! Love, Miss Kristin
