Learning Our Letters

 In class, we are starting to focus on learning our letter names and sounds. We learned that each letter in the alphabet has an uppercase and lowercase letter.  Today we went over the letter A. We learned how to print an upper and lowercase A, practiced the A sound, and named things that start with the letter A. I have attached the letter A video to help you review at home if you would like. If you are looking for some extra letter practice here are some suggestions:

-Write the letter A with your finger in salt or sand.

-Write the letter A using markers, crayons and a pencil.

-Trace the letter A in the air with your finger.

-Build the letter A using blocks, cereal or pasta noodles.

-Look for things that start with the letter A- example at the grocery store- Apples, Almonds, Apricots..)

-Name things that start with the A sound on the walk or ride to school. 

-Talk about if you have a friend or family member whose name starts with the letter A. 

-Watch the Letter A video:

In the coming weeks, your child will bring home a large piece of paper that looks like this. It is called a Newschart. Each day it will be a new child's turn in our class. They will tell the class things about themselves that they want to share. It will help us get to know each other better. While we do our newschart we look at the period at the end of each sentence and point out repeated words. After a child shares, we practice asking them questions. We discuss the difference between a question and a comment. If your child hasn't brought one home yet they will have their turn soon. Here is a picture of mine for an example:
