Last week we read one of my favorite stories to start out the year in kindergarten.
It is one of my favorites because I love how the letters play and have a good time together. We actually have a very cute version that we can watch on the smartboard that really brings them to life!
After we "read" the story, I gave the children lots of letters and had them make their very own coconut tree, finding letters in their name. It was really neat to hear them as they worked.
"Hey! Look there is a T!"
"I need an A!"
"Here's an S!"
This helps them begin to recognize letters and also learn which letters belong in their names. What a fun way to bring our letters to life!!
