February Week 2: Up and Down and All Around

Phoneme: /d/

Transition Song: H-E-A-R-T

Concepts: down, up, high, low, fast, slow, stop go

Materials: Laminated Letter D

Pre-Literacy Skills:  Draw the letter D. "Start at the top and draw down.  Go back to the top and draw around".  What sound does letter D make?  Who has that sound in their name?  What other words have a D sound? Dinosaur. Dinner. Dog. DOUGHNUT!!!! (the kids were excited about this idea).

Let's move our bodies up and down.  We played music that allowed us to dance fast and slow.  We jumped up and down.  We would freeze STOP and then GO!

Do this with any type of music.  We used movie sound tracks and Jim Gill music.
