In the beginning of the year, we do a lot of activies that have to do with their name...locating the letters in their name, decorating names, making their names from tiles and stating the letters...or for a more able child
thinking of words for each letter. I always do a fine motor activity..this week we are making family trees....my word work centers around putting this week's high frequency words on a playing board that is numbered. Children throw the die and have to tell the word that is in that numbered box.....retelling ...using read aloud children to magnetically put the characters of the story on

a cookie sheet and retell what they did in the story and what their opinion was of each character. Since we are doing OLIVIA children will think of a word for each letter of the name. I also have an Olivia puzzle for them to put together. Alphabet Arcs are always good. Alphabet soup is a fun game for them to play....put all the magnetic letters in a big soupbowl and stir. children pull out a letter and ID it with the sound. Making a letter into something else. This week the kids are making clowns out of C's. I hope this helps some....Contact me if you would like to have other ideas.
