A is for Apple!

Today, in three year old preschool, we learned out first letter, A. We discovered what was in the Alphabet Can (ambulance, apple, and alligator), we connected the sound with a movement (alligator chomp with our arms), and we practiced building As with our Handwriting Without Tears wooden pieces. NOW, in the world of 3YO preschool, that is ALOT!


Look at those As! I am so impressed!

In addition to our circle time activities, we stamped the letter A with apples. The boys and girls did a wonderful job with this very messy project! Each week we will be making a letter like these; next week we will use do bubble wrap painting for B. My hope is that families will post these in their home in a prominent location, and use them a learning tool to reemphasize the letters and sounds that we are learning at preschool. If you do not have room to post the whole alphabet, you can place them in a binder and use it like an ABC book. My guess is that the children will love telling their own story! These hands-on projects are very memorable and special to the children. Almost every child said to me, "I can't wait for my mommy to see this"!
