Each morning I select a student to take attendence down to the office and that person becomes my number one helper for the day, the line leader, and our circle time revolves around that students name. We talk about the capital letter in the name, its associated sound and jolly phonics action, we identify the remainder of the lowercase letters, we compare the capital letter to its lowercase partner, we count how many letters are in that persons name, print the numeral and talk about its formation, and show what that quantity looks like in pictures and on a ten frame.
That is just a mini glimpse of one of our learning opportunities. Hope this helps to fill some gaps and spark some conversations!
