We had a great week learning about the letter Ff. The Zoophonics animal to go along with the letter is Francy Fish. We found lots of words that begin with the letter Ff. Some are body parts: feet, fingers, fist. We read lots of stories about animals that begin with the letter f (frogs, fish, foxes). Listen to the Storybots and see what /f/ words they found: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8e_Oh314Ds (link is external) Sesame Street has a funny Letter f video too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-mEmCuU95c (link is external) Remember to keep practice printing the letter too!

Fantastic Frogs! We made a little guessing game. Look at each picture and figure out who the frogs are, then look at the next picture to see if you are right. We had lots of fun with the letter Ff. Keep practicing it at home!

Rhyme Time
We have been rhyming each day in kindergarten and we are getting pretty good! Try to make rhyming a fun part of every day at home. Research shows that rhyming is a very important pre-skill for reading. As you are walking, driving or just hanging out say words in the environment and see if you and your child can come up with lots of real and silly words that rhyme. Also storytime is a perfect opportunity to find the rhyming words. This link is to a great website with endless rhyming games. Enjoy!
