Extra! Extra! All About the Letter X!

Posted: December 4, 2013

Xavier Fox is our Zoophonics animal for the letter X. We could not find many words that start with X, but we could write some with X at the end! Ask your child to spell fox, box, fix, six, ax, and ox - I bet they can do it! Challenge them with the word EXIT. We did watch a cool video of a fox pouncing on its prey: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP15zlyra3c And some silly foxes jumping on a trampoline: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8xJtH6UcQY This man on  Sesame Street had the same problem we did -finding words that start with x: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rOUYaQ6a0g We read stories with a fox in them: Chicken Little, The Gingerbread Man, and Rosie's Walk. We noticed that the fox is very sly because he wants to eat things like chickens and gingerbread!
