Last week we focused on two more letters. We practiced the two sounds that the letter Oo makes as well as the two sounds for the letter Cc.  For the letter Oo we did some octopus crafts and read a great non-fiction book about octopuses! Did you know that they can change color? They can grow a lost arm back? They squirt ink?  Have your child tell you all about this cool creature!  Listen for words that begin with Oo as well as words that have it in the middle!  We also learned about the letter Cc and it was a favorite because we saw a favorite character Cookie Monster!!  We even got to eat some chocolate chip cookies and see that when c is right beside a h it makes another sound (ch). The children have nearly mastered their letter names and letter sounds but please continue to review these so they become automatic! As we read and write more and more it will become necessary for the children to get faster at making the sounds and formations for each letter.
