Each day we use our smart board to write a daily message. To start I draw a picture of one thing that we are going to do during the morning. The children guess what they think we are going to do. I then confirm their response and write a message to go along with it. Usually our message starts with, "We are going to ________________." We talk about how the message ends with a dot that we call a period. We also discuss how some words are short and some are long. The area between words is called a space. We even clap the syllables in some of the words that I write. After I write the message I pick sticks for children to come up and circle focus letters.
One of the centers today had the children practicing number identification. The children were given a train recording sheet. In each boxcar a number was written. The children took turns rolling a die and dotting the corresponding number on their sheets. At the second center the children were introduced to our classroom Ipads.
