A is for apple, aardvark and asparagus

On Tuesday, Miss Cindy's class begins learning the letters of the alphabet! Just to let you Moms and Dads know, we will not be writing the letters. For the letter Aa, we will use the short a sound. Our goal is to have the student recognize the letter and its sound. We will be making "fingerprint ants" which crawl up and down the "ant hill" in the shape of a upper-case A.

We also try to work on vocabulary... so it's not just about apple, ant and animal, but we'll have stories about aardvarks, alligators and astronauts. (Doesn't it make you wish you were 3 years old again?)

Lesson plans also include learning about the number 3. Looking forward to a fun week!

P.S. My laptop is suffering from some life-threatening ailment, so I've been using my hubby's computer to post. I can't upload pictures for now, but hope to have some for you soon.
