While we are learning about the letter C we heard it making a different sound when it was in front of a letter H. Check out this video for lots of words with that "train sound"!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWg2uzAuSe4

It was a perfect day for this story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEdURCG3KfQ We are learning about the letter c and look at all the c words: cat, cup-cakes, count! The story has a nice message about second chances too.

How could I resist the classic Cookie Monster song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye8mB6VsUHw(link is external) and the Story Bots: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDnzj88O6aQ(link is external) We will practice spelling cat and we will try car too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frRcDMGdTWM(link is external) But be careful! We found out that C is a copycat letter! It copies Kayo Kangaroo's /k/ sound but it also copies Sammy Snake's /s/ sound! And it makes a different sound when it is with the letter h, in words like chair, check, cheek...can you think of more? Tricky!

Take a look at the octopus video we watched because Olive Octopus is our Zoophonics O animal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH0JNSIrBA4(link is external) Here is the Story Bots Letter O link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0LOjbDKvq4(link is external) And Sesame Street's "Would you like to buy an O?" that reminded us about the two sounds for O: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml6Yqu-spnM(link is external) The children are hearing letters in more places than just the start of words too. That Olive Octopus was in the middle of words like Mom and dog. They are starting to blend sounds to make words both orally and by making the sounds of the letters they see. So smart!

We had no problem coming up with words that start with D! Take a look at how many /d/ words there are in this Story Bots video alone!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7E-tnTiW_Y(link is external) The children are excited to learn words now too - so here is a video that went with the book we read about a d-o-g, dog! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBYuSmqG6fw(link is external) Some children know the word Dad. We didn't listen to this song about My Dad, but you might enjoy it together. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9X6S-PPRso(link is external) We have a lot of dinosaur fans too! They might like to check out this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0FOZ0-VpcU
