Letter H

Arielle (mommy):
Introduction: Since we are learning about our sense of hearing, I decided to use an app called ABC music to introduce the letter H to Lil and O.  This app has pictures, videos, and interactive games for instruments for all the letters of the alphabet.  We were able to hear the sounds of a harp, harpsichord, and harmonica today.  



Writing: After looking at H cards, Lily practiced writing H and h in colored rice.



Craft:  We made an H dressed up like a horse.  Lil is really enjoys watching her disguised letter collection grow!


 Cynthia(Nanny): Today to celebrate the letter H, we did a few activities. First I showed a picture card and named the letter, gave the sound, and an example of a word that starts with the h. Then, we sang "Who let the H out" so they could hear the sound again. Next, we discussed the pictures I printed for them to use on their letter H page and they glued them on.

While I was looking for sound books this weekend, I found the book titled, Hand, hand, fingers, thumb that showcased not only the h (hand) but also sound and instruments. Perfect for science this week! So we read the book and discussed both the H sound and sound words the book used.

To tie in an art activity, the girls painted their hand and created a capital letter H using their handprints.
