Today we read a poem about pumpkins and the children practiced identifying beginning sounds in words. After identifying the beginning sound, we tried to say the word without the initial sound. For example the first sound in Pumpkins is /p/. Take /p/ away and the word is “umpkin.” This might be a fun game to play with words at home or in the car and it a skill children need to practice for Kindergarten.
We also used candy corn to help us count. We had so much fun playing with words, that some of us ran out of time to complete the whole worksheet. Your child can finish the worksheet at home and then eat the candy corn. It is just for practice so I do not need the worksheet back. J
