The Letter C

 


Day 1
Goals: Learn the letter C. Be able to recognize it on the paper. Be able to say at least one thing that starts with the letter C.
 

Craft: Fingerprint Caterpillar
Supplies:  Card stock, Crayola Kid Paints, paint brush, markers
Directions: Have your child pick the colors they want for their caterpillar.  Let you child tell you the color and then you find it and say, "this one?"  It will help your child learn their colors.  Paint a little of each color on your child's index finger, wiping off between colors, and place 6 fingerprints to make the body of the catepillar, 1 for the sun, and a few for flowers at the bottom of the page.  Then, with the paint brush, let your child (or help your child) paint the sky blue and the grass green.  Once everything is dry add the stems for the flowers, the swirl for the sun, and the legs/antenna for the caterpillar.



Song:  C says "kuh".  This is to the same tune you sang the "A" song.

Day 2
Goals: Recall the sound "C" makes. Find "C" on papers.
