Letter O Week- Lesson Plan

We were sticking with the short /o/ sounds this week.  That is the beginning sound in the word "on".  We stayed away from the long /o/ sound like in "overalls" as well as other /o/ sounds like the /ou/ sound in the word "owl".  It is way to confusing to introduce all those sounds at once to little ones.


How to decode our weekly plan- 

(2)- Things I have planned for my two year old
(4)- Things I have planned for my four year old

Yellow- Things to print out (some black and white that students will either cut or color, and some color printed items that I have laminated and ready to use year after year)

Green- Activities that will need some prep time or prep materials.

(Monday)- capital and lower case sorting

(Monday)- jelly bean cutting!

(Monday)- J for jelly beans!  My 18 month old was having a hard time not eating the jelly beans... she would glue them on then pop them right in her mouth... glue and all!  Maybe an activity I would recommend for 2 and up!
