Learning our ABC's

As we have been working on learning our alphabet, I have noticed that a lot of our kiddos recognize  upper-case letters, but not the lower-case letters. Some are also having a hard time learning the sounds that the letters make.

Here is a clip from a fabulous video made by Leap Frog called, "The Letter Factory."



These videos are amazing and truly do help learn letters and sounds (plus they are only about 20 minutes long, so you don't have to feel guilty about sticking your kids in front of the tv)!

The videos can be found at Target or Walmart and run about $10 each. We have a few copies that are available to check-out from the school if you are interested and there are some on Netflix as well!

Also, if you haven't been to this page yet, you need to help your child explore this page. I spent an hour with my 4-year-old yesterday exploring each of the different activities and she LOVED it. She was laughing and having a great time as we worked on sounding out words and counting together.

Go check them out and I will be posting our color songs next week for each color day.

Have a great day!

Love,

Mrs. Newman

P.S. Don't forget we start in a new classroom on Monday morning and you need to wear BROWN.
