This week we discussed the letter A. We talked about the letter, it's sound, and words that start with the letter A.
I started the week off showing the kids the letter A, both uppercase and lowercase, and we talked about its sound. I had a letter A card that was made with sand paper and had them trace with their fingers. I told the children a few words that started with the letter A, such as astronaut, alligator, apple, and apricot.
I thought it would help the children remember sound if we could associated it with an action or a story. So I asked the kids if you they were walking and saw an alligator what would they do and then we all screamed "ah".
We would look around the room for books or posters and point out the letter A. We would talk about words and which ones started with the letter A. Periodically throughout the week I kept asking them what does the letter A say.
We stamped a giant letter a with an apple cut in half. We made alligator A's, where the children colored in the letter A green and colored in the eyes then glued the eyes and teeth on our letter A.
We completed various worksheets regarding the letter A. Each child was given worksheets based on their skill level with tracing and coloring. Only the older children were allowed to use scissors for their worksheets. We started an alphabet binder where we are going to put all our letter worksheets.
I hid a lot of lowercase and uppercase letter A's around the room, which I made from construction paper. The children had a blast looking through the room to find them.
I made a giant letter A street for the children to either trace by walking on or by riding their bikes.
I made a uppercase and lowercase letter a puzzle for the children.
When we got the chance we made the letter a with our food or any thing we could find. We had Play-doh mats for the children to make their own letter A.
