Letter of the Week:
We finished ALL of our letters! We are going to review our letters, the letter sounds, and work on letter formation. We are also going to learn the song, "Where do you start your letters?" It is part of the Handwriting Without Tears curriculum that we use for letter formation and handwriting. (Mat Man is also part of this curriculum!) This curriculum utilizes common language for capitol letter formation utilizing little line, big line, little curve, and big curve in order to make all letters of the alphabet.
