Letter Tt Week

This is our Letter Tt tub. This was an easy letter week for them, easy as in, they learned the sound, words associated and recognition of the letter within a word quickly.

They even pointed out this cute plate that Julian made a few weeks ago and tried to "test" Thanks for the T sounds (tuh, tuh, thanks) and it didn't work. So I had to semi explain that Thanks does start with a T but it has an H after which makes a th sound. I love that they were so proactive in learning though.

We read a story about Time, which worked out great because I have been meaning to start talking to them about time telling. We will get more into that soon.

As with every Letter, we made the letter Tt and they had the option to use toilet paper and/or toothpicks. Julian had attempted to use toilet paper with his open ended art last week and didn't like it being stuck to his finger because of the glue, so he stuck to just toothpicks this time.

Aislinn used TP and toothpicks.

This next turkey project was the best craft I have done all year!!! First of all, a great learning tool and helped reinforce the letters they are already very familiar with and helped to remind them of the others that we haven't gotten to. Also, this craft last like 45 min. They were both very detailed and they took their time in accomplishing it. I loved it!!! I kept looking at the time and thinking wow, its been 20 min, then 30 min, then 40. LOL. I will duplicate this over and over with a rainbow, a slide, etc. Be on the look out for it.

They had to glue the corresponding letter to the correct space and then color their turkey.

Here is the template for anyone interested!

This site is a great resource.

I showed them some numbers to see how they would do with recognizing the letter Tt and they were champs, so we moved onto harder things :)

I quickly typed up a story about a Turtle named Tommy that lost his Tooth. There were soooooo many T's in the story, they had a blast highlighting the T's and finding them. I kept telling them it was like a scavenger hunt.
