Yoga


Every week week we have a new letter of the week to learn about. Most of the letters are really easy. I base my lesson plans on things involving the letter of the week. I try to use all of the senses. We see the letter (by viewing flashcards and writing the letter) we feel the letter (using shaving cream, sandpaper, bubble wrap etc.) we hear the letter (the a says aaaaaa song etc.) we smell and taste the letter when we can (w for watermelon etc.) For letter y week i always get stumped. Until i decided to use a yoga DVD. I was shocked at how fast the children picked up on the moves. I rented the DVD free from the library and it was very kid friendly. We set up the DVD player in our dramatic play center with our tumble mats.
