Frog's Rhyming

http://pbskids.org/wordworld/characters/game_frm.html

Here is a fun rhyming game to play online. We have been working at school each day to learn to rhyme, if you notice that your child isn't strong with rhyming yet, please practice lots at home. You can play games on the computer, read rhyming books (let me know if you would like me to send one home each night), rhyme throughout the day (ex: time for bed, what rhymes with bed?).

Allie Alligator came to visit and fill us in about the letter A. Today we learned how to make an upper case A and a lower case a. Check out this link for the song that helps us with Allie's sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tif2a8vXeAA We liked the Story Bots "Horray for A" song too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3guwWkqlaGc We are learning about apples so we are ready for our field trip on Tuesday. You may enjoy singing this cute apple song together:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKmFHRrkFuQ
