Letters of the Week
Each week we will focus on a specific letter in the alphabet. During these weeks we will learn about words that begin with the specific letters as well as how to print the letter and the sounds each letter makes. Activities will incorporate the letter of the week. Some of these activities include...
-
Letter Copy Books- Students will cut out pictures that begin with the specific letter of the week and glue them onto pages of their very own letter copybook. Students will also label these pictures, creating an alphabet glossary!
- Sharing Bags- Each week we study a specific letter, students will be able to bring in a Letter Sharing Bag. Students will choose an object that begins with the same letter as the letter of the week to place in their bags. Students will also write three clues about the object they have placed in their Sharing Bag. At the end of the week, students will have a chance to share these bags and "mystery objects" with classmates.
