I was getting a little bit bored with that (as were my little learners), so I decided to change things up and purchased this awesome interactive alphabet journal from Miss Kindergarten.
I really love this product, and my students love cutting, coloring, and gluing anything so it makes the tedious and repetitive process of learning the letter sounds a little bit more engaging. Before working on each letter sound individually, I had them complete this page about beginning sounds.
I, of course, had to do the whole thing first under my document camera to make sure that they all understood what to do.
Then, I passed out the page and told them to cut only the dotted lines, not the fat lines and they did a great job with that!
(he felt the need to use all of his body weight to make the glue really stick) :)
Next, I asked them to fold their little pieces along the fat lines and show me where they were supposed to glue before I gave them their sheet to glue onto and allowed them to get started. The kids seemed to really enjoy this activity and most of them did a fantastic job!
Of course, there were some that ended up looking like this:
but, hey, they did their best and that's what counts...right?
