Jumping Js

This year I have been using Starfall.com as a supplement to my teaching. The Gingerbread Boy is a teaching tool that comes with the curriculum, and boy do the kiddos love him!

I used the idea of a jump roping Gingy for the J collage. This was a great teaching moment about letter/sound similarities and differences.

And of course, Gingy approves!

E is for Elephant

Our E Elephants were not as big of a hit as the other letters so far. The kiddos didn't find it interesting. I think perhaps it might be the color choice? Ideas for future use: read Elmer stories and do a patchwork E Elephant instead. This way I can use the same templates and have the kids to torn or cut paper squares into the elephant.

O Octopus

The kiddos in my class are used to seeing octopus tentacles being grilled on skewers in the market stalls, but making a crafty one wasn't too much of a stretch! I'm happy to report that as a class that data for letter recognition and phonetic sounds has jumped up greatly since I launched the letter collages.
