So one part of my teaching philosophy is that I don't do "letter of the day" - in the tradidtional sense anyway. We for sure have letters all around us that we are always talking about and learning. And we often focus on a letter for a day or a week - but it is very meaningful and concreat.
Well P - for pumpkin is increadibly meaningful and concreate. We spent all week finding out what we can do with a pumpkin using P.
But first we had to explore a pumpkin - I brought one into our curcle time and we passed it around , felt it, talked about it, and learned a lot of words to describe it.
Then we learned about the letter P. I gave them a tin with a lot of letters, they picked out all the letter P's. Then we wrote the letter P.
Stay tuned to see all of our P's for pumpkins!
