Letter Containers

Lane continues to work on her letter sounds. She is getting good at putting a couple of the sounds together but she needs more practice. I bought 26 plastic containers and magnetic letters from the dollar store.
The kids were off school last Friday so I enlisted their help in putting one letter in each container. Then we added at least one item that began with that letter. For example, B has a ball. As we put the items and letters in, the boys talked to Lane about the sound and how to isolate the first sound of the word.
It was an interesting assembly project. Alex's leadership skills shone as he directed Gabriel and Lane on where to put the items. I only need to print and add the letter on the outside of the containers.



We pulled out the plastic animal bin while adding objects. It hasn't been out for the kids since we moved from Iowa, over a year and a half ago. The kids were fascinated by what the bin held. Lane didn't remember the barrel of monkeys my parents had given Alex a long time ago and thought it was fun to hang the monkeys. It was a big challenge but she was up for the task.
