We are scientists, and as scientists, we know what to do:

  • Ask a question – What would happen if. . . ?
  • Form a hypothesis – I think. . .
  • Test the hypothesis – Let’s do an experiment . . .
  • Record observations
  • Come to a conclusion – What was the answer to our question.

The children have been working on letter identification (e.g., in different fonts), letter formation, letter sounds and generating words that begin with a given letter.  Here we are doing some activities for the letter ‘Aa’.
