IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

Hello hello!  Yesterday we started new literacy stations, and let me tell you…the children are SO engaged in the various activities!  One station is stamping words that have to do with puppet shows.  One station is doing the clipboard cruise again, but this time they have to find words that begin with A, B, and/or C.  The children have really been searching for those words around the room.  Another station is matching upper case and lower case letters together, and then they have to write the letters.  If they get done with that then they can begin to write words or draw pictures that begin with the specific letter they are at!  Another station they will do is writing words they see in various puppet books that I have gotten from the library.  The fifth station is cutting out pictures from The Three Pigs, and then gluing it in a beginning, middle, or end box.  We have begun to talk about how stories have a beginning, middle, and end so this is a tangible way to show beginning, middle, and end using a story we are familiar with.  The last station is working with rhyming words and styrofoam cups!

I was so proud of our friends today!  They worked so hard throughout the day especially during our Writer’s Workshop and Math Workshop time!  I love seeing our friends really stretching with their thinking and learning!

Tomorrow we will be going to the library as a class for the first time…SO EXCITED!!
