C for Crab!

C for Crab!
 
 
This week we are going to Crawl our way through our lessons with C the Crab!
 
We just got done Buzzing around with bumble bees and now we are going to crawl around with Crabs! This week will go over the C sound (cuh) and of coarse let the children who's names start with C be our Crawly Crab experts! We will make our C lists and watch the C video. We will crawl like crabs and play with cars and make a Crabby Craft for their alphabet books! Remember The more they here and see the letters the easier it will be for them!

B for Bee!

B for Bee!
 
This week we are exploring the letter be through our Buzzy friends the Bumble Bees!
 
 
 
We just made it out of our Adventures with A the Alligator and now we are going to Buzz along with B the Bumble Bee! We will start off by familiarizing ourselves with the sound of B (the 'Buh' sound). Then we will move onto the structure of the letter and of coarse trace and wright the letter B every day. then we will figure out who's name starts with a B! After that we will make a list of the B words we can think of and Mom's and Dad's you can help them think of words to add to our list. we will then watch this short video to reinforce words that start with the letter B! once again feel free to watch this with your children the more they hear and see these words the easier they get.

A for Alligator!

A for Alligator!
 
In the Alphabet unit we will be starting off our learning by relating letters to animals or objects the students know well. 
 
To Kick start the lesson we will be learning the structure of the Capital letter A. They will trace the A and then write it on their own each day this week. We will also emphasize the sound of the letter A and will then make a list of all of the things we can think of that start with the letter A starting with the students who's name starts with A.The first letter of a students name is often most important to them so I will be using that fact to reinforce our learning. Finding other words that start with a specific letter will be difficult for them depending on their familiarity with the alphabet. To reinforce the sound of the A words I will be showing a short video clip that shows pictures and the spelling of words that start with A in class. Feel free to watch this at home with them because the more they hear and see it the easier it will get for them. Then they will make these fun Alligator crafts and put them in their alphabet book!
