Week 5 Assignment-Youngest Learner

Reading and writing can be incorporated in all areas of learning. Posters hanging on the wall that have pictures and print can catch a students attention and inspire them to try reading or copying what is on the poster.

In my class we do a lot of group work and we include art, writing, play dough, crayons, markers and other various art materials. We make our group projects a enjoyable learning time. Each student is given a different task, these task will include doing research, writing, and drawing.

When writing and print are included in learning centers it encourages students to write stories and draw pictures to go along with the story.

In Social Studies this week students are learning about reading a map and drawing maps of their community. They have to include streets, stores, houses, etc..., and label each item. They are also coloring the maps with different symbols and features.

I encourage students to read print on posters, road signs, billboards, etc....

In a block center road maps, pictures of buildings, and blank paper for students to draw a picture of the structure they build with blocks.

Manipulatives of letters, numbers, magnetic pictures, scissors, glue placed throughout the room will help students put words and pictures together to form a book.
