Kindergarten, Writing, Week 8

This week we worked on numbers 2 and 3.

For Small Muscle Development:

• Tuesday we played Obstacle Course.
• Take a sheet of paper, draw a house in the upper left corner and the park (or beach, etc.) in the lower right corner.
• Make small marks all over the paper.
• I have K. use 3 different colored markers and find 3 ways from home to the park without touching any of the marks.
• Friday K. played with playdoh.

For Writing Development:

• Wednesday we made a Story Map.
• Take a manilla folder (or a large sheet of construction paper) make a map on the folder. This one had a dog house, people house, park, grocery store, and vet office.
• Cut pieces of folder and fold in half so they will stand up. Draw your characters on these pieces. We had a dog, a girl, a boy, and a car.
• Use the characters and map and tell a story together.
