Today we took advantage of the beautiful 70 degree weather to go outside and do some phonics!Something about being outside of our regular classroom makes learning SO much more fun.
We headed over to the courtyard at the church across the street to play "Word Hop". The children were given words and had to hop from letter to letter on the sidewalk to make them.
They had a ball!
This activity was a great way for us to practice letter recognition as we had to find the letters written on the sidewalk. It was also a great activity for students who are tactile/kinesthetic learners and like to move with their bodies when they are learning or reviewing material.
After we played a few rounds, I let the children go with the sidewalk chalk...
I was also happy to see so many of them practicing writing letters and making words that we have learned in class. Writing is always more fun when you get to do it with chalk or markers, instead of paper and pencil!
