Learn the sound of each letter (vowels will focus on the short vowel sound)!  At the beginning of class, we will sing the ABC song and then we will focus on the letter of the week.  We will identify some objects that start with the letter and sing a chant for each sound and word.  We will then watch a short letter video and make our letter with play clay.  After completing our clay letters, I will show the students how to write the capital and small forms of each letter.  Students are encouraged to bring an object that starts with the day's letter to share at the end of class.  

For each class, students will need play clay, like playdough, a pencil, or other writing device, and the weekly letter mat printout provided for each class.  

After class, I will post 5 activity sheets for each letter, for students who would like to practice during the week (class and then 5 days of one-page letter practice).

*If you would like to do a weekly letter study, I would encourage you to laminate the letter mat printout or use a cover, like a sheet protector (these, along with the clay, can often be found at a dollar store).  Students can practice their letter mats during your "school week".  If you chose to laminate please have a dry-erase marker for class.

Learners can join this class at any time.

**Policy**
Per Outschool policy, if a student is more than 10 minutes late, it will be considered a missed class and not eligible for a refund.  If no students have arrived at a class by 12 minutes after the start time I will end the class. If a student needs to cancel class, I will offer a reschedule when possible or issue a refund, as long as I am notified more than 24 hours in advance. In the case of a teacher scheduling conflict, I will offer to reschedule the class or issue a refund for the missed class. 
Thank you so much for respecting my time. :o)
