OBSERVATION AND FAMILY PAGES
The pack ends with black and white pages you can print fresh every week:
◆ How to Use the Observation Pages, print once and keep it in the folder
◆ This Week I Saw, a one page observation record, one per child
◆ A Note Home, the family page with 3 quick 5 minute ideas to try at home
WHY TEACHERS LOVE IT
Most alphabet printables are written for 4 and 5 year olds, and they ask for pencil control a 2 year old does not have yet.
This one asks for a finger, a dot marker, a toy car, and a ball of dough. Letters arrive as exposure and recognition, never as mastery, which is what children of 2 and 3 are ready for.
The igloo carries the whole week: it is on the poster, the cards, the dough mat, and the note that goes home.
✥ PERFECT FOR
◆ Tot school and homeschool
◆ Toddler and twos classrooms, preschool 3s
◆ Daycare and childcare programs
◆ Morning tubs
◆ Small groups
◆ Independent practice with a grown up nearby
◆ Busy bags and quiet time
◆ Early finishers
★ SKILLS PRACTICED
◆ Letter recognition, uppercase first, with lowercase shown beside it
◆ Beginning sound awareness, heard and named out loud, never tested
◆ Fine motor control: pincer grasp, finger isolation, and hand strength
◆ First scissors skill: the single snip, which comes long before cutting on a line
◆ Visual discrimination: matching a picture to its shadow and one letter against another
◆ Pre-writing control: following a wide road from start to finish with one finger
◆ Vocabulary: one new word per letter, repeated in play all week
◆ Following a one step direction
QUICK PREP
Most activities are print and go. A grown up cuts the pieces on the build, shadow, and card pages, and you can laminate the poster, the letter cards, and the play dough mat (for reusable durability).
