Our letter focus this week was on A and C. We learned that A was a vowel and we make its sound using our vocal tract and there is no closure of our throat or mouth. Everybody practiced this sound, waiting for the hand motion to know when to stop. We compared this sound to that made by the C. We noticed that when we make this sound, the air is stopped. We are learning to "clip" these sounds. We practiced forming these letters the "kindergarten way" and used highlighters to find words in a riddle that began with A and C. We also sang a C letter song to the tune of, "Do Your Ears Hang Low?"
Throughout the week we have been focusing on the sight word, like. We practiced tapping this word on our arms, rainbow writing it over and over, using wikki sticks to construct the word, and finding it every day in our morning message.
