Table Time & Education

At table time when I am directing we go over the following things:

  • Colors

  • Shapes

  • Numbers (Including Subtizing)

  • Counting

  • Letters and Sounds

  • Days of the Week

  • Calendar

  • Left/Right

  • Weather

  • Feelings

  • Word Wall Words (Sight Words)

  • Name spelling

​

With the number I not only count but also do flash cards out of order for them to learn recognition.  As for the letters, I do them in order saying letter and sound, I have them mixed for recognition and also separated for recognition of big and little.

I have a kindergarten readiness checklist that lets me and the parents know what areas the child(ren) should be doing well in before s/he starts kindergarten.  I also keep in contact with a current kindergarten teacher who lets me know if there are any changes.  The following are examples:

Knowing the numbers 0-10

Being able to count to 30

Writing their names with capital then lowercase

When learning letters and sounds "Fundations" is being used, I have the same information to get them started so it will be familiar when they start school.
