Letter of the Week!

Learning Wall: Letter of the Week   - "C"

Teaching Kindergarten was a pleasant experience as I got to see many of the children's first time grasping alphabets and numbers. I felt it took a lot more time to come up with ideas to ensure my teaching was engaging and were in a series of short lessons, keeping their attention span in mind. As this age group is very dependent in terms of having to rely on verbal instructions, pictures, and observations, it was important  to avoid using worksheets for a large part.

I planned many literacy building activities such as "Letter of the Week" whereby the students learned an alphabet a week- how to recognize it, its phonetic pronunciation, and how to write it. As well through out the week I read books and we sang songs together that had words that highlighted the week's alphabet. At the end of the week, the students' "homework" was to bring an item from home which started with the letter of the week for Show and Tell. The students absolutely loved the activities as they had much to tell their parent(s) and it also gave a way for the parents to connect with their child's learning.
