For 'Jumi', we playfully explored, including forming the letters in the name with pencil and chalk. We watched the Sesame Street podcast for 'J' which helped us to think of other words that start like Jumi. This made us think of 'jam' and 'jar', which inspired us to play a special game of Fruit Salad. We also thought of 'juggling' and invited Mr. Pinchbeck to demonstrate it for us.

In Kindergarten 1, Star Name is our invitation to alphabet knowledge. Each 2 weeks, a new child is chosen as our Star Name. As a group, we will study the letters in the name, including what they sound like, look like, and relate to. We will also identify other words that start in a similar way. Every child will also have the opportunity to ask the “Star” a question about him or herself. The letters in the “Star’s” name often will be the focal point of sound sorts, letter hunts, and handwriting.
We are looking forward to finding out who the next Star Name is on Monday! :)
