Adriennes+Practicum+4

I wanted to take the time to reflect on my student initated goal which is helping all young children reach to his or fullest potenial in being able to recognize their own name in print. The reason I chose this goal is because the enviroment is print rich enviroment. Children in Pr-K are very interested in learning how to use emerging reading shills and make meaning of print. So I thought it would be a good idea to create a name book and that way children would be able to use it daily often as needed. The book will be tiltled Pre- K Pre-K What Name Do You See? Just as the Brown Bear Brown Bear book that I recently intorduced to them children are able to learn chants, stories, and songs easily through repetitiveness. This book will allow children to use domains from the Creative Curriculum Goals and objectives for support. I am almost done creating this classroom book and cannot wait until next week to present it to see how they will respond. I will post pictures or a video clip of our experience on my next blog!

I learned alot of valuable information about how literacy runs along way in a program that uses the "Creative Curriculum" a print rich enviroment allows so much opportunities for many real life experiences, combined with explict teaching. Mrs. Heather is great at fostering the componets of literacy through pleasures experiences such as informal converstions, songs, rhymes, fingerplays, and read alouds.
