文字（Aa - Mm）に愛を込めてライトアップ！

All Pre K and Kindergarten literacy learners will have a fantastic, creative and interactive experience in my environment of 'Light Up With Love For Letters!' Each week, we will meet twice to immerse ourselves in the uppercase/ lowercase recognition of two alphabet letters, respectively. Every enrolled student will print out the two weekly * *Letter Art activities* * from the course's Classroom to complete (and engage with!) during class time alongside myself and their peers.

LETTER ART ACTIVITY/ COURSE STRUCTURE:

Each class' * *Letter Art activity will incorporate several important age-appropriate growth components: 

— Differentiating letters, along with verbal communication in deciphering/ comparing those letters
— Following multi-step directions and problem solving
— Nurturing self-regulation skills, such as coloring within literacy-shaped 'boundary lines', listening and engaging with myself and peers with care and by taking turns 

We will also manipulate a fun material (i.e. pipe cleaners, pasta, recycled items, etc.) to form the day's letter pair AND 

— practice writing the uppercase/ lowercase letter pair of the day (discussing, viewing and practicing how said letter 'sits' on a line). Here, the students will be modeled to/ guided/ happily encouraged to recognize and practice the direction letters are written in. Each will practice letter writing in a calm setting where trying your best is the MOST successful!
— culminate class with a letter-sound Show and Tell!

COURSE READINESS:

Light Up With Love For Letters is for beginning learners and writers, as well as those who are gaining traction in strengthening their literacy muscles. 
This course is well-paced and structured, with many spaces for fun, but also provides a comfortable understanding of expectation! My aim (and true belief) is for our collective comfort, focus and literacy skill set to grow as we tuck class after class under our belt.
