Our Kindergarten pups are hard at work this year learning their letters and the sounds they make. Students in Mrs. Derecskey’s class recently completed an in-class exercise where they stretched, tapped, and wrote sounds out.
Students have learned letters b, t, and f through the Fundations Program, and as an extension they are identifying words that begin with the focus letter/sound. Teacher Ashley Derecskey says, “Students who know most of their letters and sounds are practicing stretching words to hear all the sounds, tapping out to identify how many sounds are in a particular word, then writing the sounds that they hear and know. It’s super fun, super engaging and we continue to add to our charts when we think of new words!”
