Goofy Ghosts and Wicked Witches!

Posted: October 28, 2012

We had lots of fun focusing on the letters Gg and Ww this week. They were spooky letters that fell in nicely with our Halloween theme. We made some sucker ghosts and paper plate witches. Poke your head into our classroom if you are at the school - it is starting to look pretty scary! Ask your child to tell you some words that have the /g/ sound or /w/ sound in them. They are starting to get pretty good at generating words that begin with a given sound. If they are stuck get them to make the sound that usually helps. You could play a guessing game as well....for instance "What is white and flies on Halloween?" or "What is white and sticks things together?"  Little things like this only take a few minutes while you are driving or making supper but they are great practice for the children.  Also don't forget to keep rhyming (this guessing game would work well for rhymes as well)!!
