ABC’s here we come!
Learning the alphabet is one milestone that we tend to mark as an indication of a child’s successful entry into the world of reading. Mrs. Alger and I have planned many fun filled learning activities to help your child become successful throughout this unit by utilizing some of these materials such as, magnet letters, white boards, and flash cards.
This week, we will focus on the letters C and D. For the letter C, the children will become cookie monsters as they make their own cookies and decorate them with yummy delicious toppings. Yum Yum! For creative art, we will make chef hats and create Catapillar’s by using the letters in our names. For the letter D, we will observe a dinosaur hatching from a capsule and during group discussion talk about fossils. For creative movement your little ones may be a little crabby as we crawl round looking like crabs ( Snap Snap) and play Doggie Doggie Where’s My Bone.
