Letter S

S is for Sand Each lesson starts with the intro to the letter that we are learning that week. I show cardboard cut letter and then I ask, Do you know what letter this is? And what sound does it make? Then we practice and talk about the letter and sing the song by Leapfrog, The (name the letter) says (letter sound), The (name Letter) says (letter sound), every letter makes a sound the (name the letter) says (letter sound). Next we do tracing and intro to the word of the day. We practice saying, spelling and writing the word. Then we start the specail activity, which is different for each letter. For this letter we practice writing the letter S in the SANDBOX. Using a skewer I wrote a uppercase S and a lower case S and had my son copy underneath. Then we practiced writing the word SAND. He had a lot of fun writing in the sand and it was an added way to practice the letter. We also made cupcakes with "sand" on them. That was a big hit of course!
