Letter of the week preschool curriculum using math, fine and gross motor skills, songs and social skills to introduce the littlest learners to the wonderful world of learning!

Each week we will focus on a different letter. We will learn the name and sound of the letter and use activities to reinforce the letter concept. Each day will start the same with a welcome song, introducing the letter with a letter story, daily activity, and end the day with our goodbye song. While we will use the same letter for the entire week each day will focus on a different activity or skill related to that week’s letter. Repetition is so important for the little learners so each day will have the same hello and goodbye song but the activity for the day we differ based on the day of the week. That way if you join us one day or five each day will be a little different and further help reinforce letter concepts. The days of the week will be as follows:

Movement Monday (We will use our bodies to make the letter of the week as well as work on gross motor concepts that begin with that week’s letter)
Tactile Tuesday (We will use manipulatives such as playdoh and work on fine motor skills to build the letter of the week) 
Wordy Wednesday (We will make a list of words that start with the letter of the week and act them out- i.e. snake- slither on the floor)
Show and Tell Thursday (Friends will bring an item to class that starts with that week’s letter and we will share with our friends)
Fun Friday (We may play a game, read a silly story or sing some songs) 

As little learners, they sometimes have the wiggles and that is okay! We will be working on learning how to be in a classroom with other friends. I will keep everyone un-muted as we will be working on taking turns. If for some reason a student is having a little bit of trouble or there is a lot of background noise, I may have to mute a student until it is their turn. Preschool is all about exploring ad learning so I will have each student have turns answering questions and sharing what they want with the class. Students love to share and I want to encourage that but I will keep it on track and have the students save some thoughts until the end. This is an ongoing class and I know there will be different students in classes but I do hope to see many of the same faces so the children can build that community with one another. 

I will not be teaching the letters of the alphabet in alphabetical order as children develop the ability to make the sounds of some letters easier than others. I will be teaching the letters in the following order:

November:
Oct 31- Nov 4: Letter Ss
7-11: Letter Aa
14-18: Letter Tt
21-25:  Letter Pp (NO CLASS Thursday/Friday) [Will Refund]
28- Dec 2: Letter Mm (NO CLASS Thursday/Friday) [Will Refund]

December:
5-16: BREAK NO Class
19-23: Letter Ii
26-30: NO CLASS Christmas/New Years

January 2023:
2-6: Letter Nn 
9-13: Letter Dd 
16-20: Letter Gg 
23-27: Letter Oo
I hope to see you in class as we learn the letters of the alphabet.
