A few weeks ago we read “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom” a story about the letters in the alphabet. Learning  letter names is part of the Kindergarten curriculum.

Children’s names are the most special and important word for them. So those are the first letters we have been working on.

Students have been doing many activities focusing on:

• learning the letters in their names
• learning that their name always starts with uppercase and the rest are lower case
• recognizing their names and their friends’ names
• comparing the letters in their name to their friends’ names
• forming their own names with manipulatives and through print
• connecting the letters in their names to the letter sounds we are learning
