in my afternoon class i am trying to add environmental print around the room. a mom ask if these were supposed to be healthy food choices. the other teacher answered no, these were supposed to be items they would recognize the print. most kids know PopTarts. sometimes when we are playing in dramatic play we will ask the children to "read" the boxes on the wall. we then let them know that they are indeed "reading". i am trying to come up with additional ways to add environmental print to the classroom. i would love it if those of you out there would leave some comments with ideas on how to expand this literacy connection.
How about an environmental print book.That's an idea I saw while browsing the web.
ReplyDeleteI work at a pre school. Something we are working on is making both a catalog and a menu for the dramatic play area. The catalog has brand names you can find at WalMart, since most of our kids know WalMart. The Menu is for different fast food places, McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell, Domino's Pizza, etc.
