Drawing from my extensive experience, I've witnessed the effectiveness of incorporating play into early childhood education. This class is designed to make the process of learning letters engaging and enjoyable. Each week, we will delve into a new letter, combining laughter, play, and fun to foster a dynamic learning environment. The ability to recognize and name letters, along with their sounds, significantly influences a child's reading readiness. Our classes will commence with a lively "hello" song to welcome our young learners. I will then introduce the letter of the week, providing an overview of the interactive games we have in store. These activities include a guessing game, an engaging eye-spy challenge using specially crafted letter slides, and a scavenger hunt where children will seek out items in their homes starting with the letter of focus. In addition to letter exploration, participants will develop essential life skills such as taking turns and speaking in front of a small group. If time permits, we will conclude each session by reviewing a letter sheet provided for home practice, incorporating on-screen letter tracing. The goodbye song will mark the end of our class. To extend learning beyond the classroom, I will send home a unique learning sheet corresponding to the weekly letter. These sheets encompass activities like tracing, cutting, and prewriting skills. Additionally, participants will have access to an eye-spy room for continued enjoyment throughout the week. The overarching aim of this class is for children to seamlessly merge learning with play. The flexible structure allows learners to join or leave at any point, fostering an inclusive and accommodating environment. The schedule for the upcoming weeks is as follows: Week of: January 8 - Letter A January 15 - Letter B January 22 - Letter C January 29 - Letter D February 5 - Letter E February 12 - Letter F February 19 - Letter G February 26 - Letter H March 5 - Letter I March 12 - Letter J March 19 - Letter K March 26 - Letter L April 2 - Letter M April 9 - Letter N April 16 - Letter O April 23 - Letter P April 30 - Letter Q May 7 - Letter S May 14 - Letter T May 21 - Letter U May 28 - Letter V June 4 - Letter W June 11 - Letter X Y June 18 - Letter Z (Certificates Given!) ** Lessons Restart to Letter Aa in August ** This schedule will be regularly updated to reflect any changes.
Learning Goals
My objective for this class is to guide children in mastering alphabet letters seamlessly through the guise of play. By integrating learning into enjoyable activities, the children will naturally associate the acquisition of knowledge with the joy of play, fostering a positive connection between learning and fun!

Teacher expertise and credentials
👋🏼 Hello! I'm Carrie Wright, also known as Ms. Carrie.
I possess a deep passion for Early Childhood Education (ECE), dedicating over 17 years to working and studying in this field. ECE encompasses the education of children from birth to eight years old.
My Top Five Teacher Qualities:
1️⃣ Patient
2️⃣ Reliable
3️⃣ Energized
4️⃣ Organized
5️⃣ Creative
ECE is a critical phase in child development, and research indicates that children engaged in ECE programs tend to perform better academically. Beyond academic achievements, one of the most significant advantages of early childhood education is instilling a love for learning. These formative experiences inspire children to seek knowledge and cultivate a lifelong passion for learning.
An integral aspect of teaching involves understanding both the student and their family. Feel free to reach out with any questions, concerns, or ideas that can aid in your child's educational journey.
I am genuinely thankful for the opportunity to contribute to the growth of your student.
Looking forward to connecting soon,
Ms. Carrie
