飛機、棒球、紙杯蛋糕：字母展示與講述

Every class, we will focus on a new letter of the alphabet. Students will bring an item from their home (a toy, a stuffed animal, a drawing, food, etc.) that begins with the letter we will be studying.*

We will begin class by introducing ourselves and using the letter of the week to describe ourselves. (Ex. "Our letter of the day is S! My name is Ms. Cubby, and I am silly!") Then, we will sing a song to help us remember the phonics of our letter.

For the rest of our time, we will take turns presenting our item for show-and-tell! Students will tell the class about their item, what they use it for, and what they like about it. Students will repeat the word and Ms. Cubby will write down the word on a whiteboard for the class to learn phonetically.

After each child has been given the opportunity to present their item, we will play a variety of games that involve our letter of the day and enhance students' reading and comprehension capabilities. This may include games such as "I Spy", "Which One Doesn't Belong?", "Guess the Drawing", "Word Building", and much more! We will end class by singing the alphabet song, if time allows.

Here is the breakdown for the letters of the week:
Week of 5/16: A, B & C
Week of 5/23: D, E & F
Week of 5/30: G, H & I
Week of 6/6: J, K & L
Week of 6/13: M, N & O
Week of 6/20: P, Q & R
Week of 6/27: S, T, & U
Week of 7/4: V, W, X, Y, & Z

*If a student is not able to bring something starting with the letter we will be discussing, they may bring an item of their choice and describe it with a word starting with the same letter. For example, a student does not have an item starting with the letter "F", but they may choose to bring a teddy bear and describe it as "fuzzy" or "fantastic" when it is their turn to present.
