SOUND OF THE WEEK

The children were very excited to learn about a new activity today--"Sound of the Week". Each week we will introduce a new letter sound on Mondays along with an animal character beginning with that letter sound. Today, we read a story about the character, learned a cheer about the letter sound, played a guessing game using picture cards with objects beginning with the letter sound, and recognized those children and teachers in the class who have a first and/or last name that begins with the letter sound, "B". Also on Mondays, we give the children something to bring home to remind them of the week's letter sound.

We also explained to the children about their "Sound Box" homework. Please assist your child in finding 1 to 3 items beginning with the sound of the week to bring in tomorrow and put into the Sound Box. IT IS VERY HELPFUL TO PUT YOUR CHILD'S ITEMS IN A ZIPLOCK BAG WITH HIS/HER NAME ON THE BAG. If your child has an item that does not fit into a ziplock bag, please put your child's name on the object. Your child should bring in up to 3 items for the Sound Box on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. They should be different items each day.

Mrs. Spolter unveils the new letter sound.

The new letter sound is "B". The character is Bubble Bear.

Mrs. Spolter reads us the story, "Bubble Bear".

At the end of the week, we get to make our own smaller copy of the story, "Bubble Bear".

Ethan is given a special sticker with a letter "B" on it since his last name begins with "B".

Mrs. Spolter played a guessing game with us using picture cards with objects beginning with the letter "B".

This is the sound box where children put their items beginning with the sound of the week until it is sharing time.
