Kindergarten Families,
I sent out a video a couple weeks ago about where we were as a school with our letter recognition in kindergarten. Our littles have come so far this year but there is a LONG way yet to go. The bar is set high by the Indiana standards and we want to see your children achieve everything kindergarten has to offer. This will set them up to be successful in first grade.
Today, I put together magnetic letter baggies of every capital and lower case letter that your child has not mastered. I will send them home with your student when we return back to school.
Here are some ways that you can use them at home:
1. Put them on the fridge and ask your child about one or more of them every time you open the fridge. While your student is learning the letter you will need to tell them what it is, and even practice the shape it makes.
2. While in another room ask your student to go to the fridge and grab a specific letter. While they are learning them you can show them what it looks like or draw it in the air.
3. You can carry one or two of the letters with you when you complete bath routine and ask talk about the letter and sound it makes as you are doing your regular nightly routine.
4. Car rides are also a great way to talk about the letters and have them practice it.
Get creative and please try to incorporate a few letters a day into your routine! Thank you for all your help and please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!

Play-Doh: Use Play-Doh to form letters
Letter Formation: Use pipe cleaners, blocks, or other art supplies to build letters.
Games & Puzzles
Matching Games: Play memory with letter flashcards or match uppercase and lowercase letters with clothespins.
Scavenger Hunts: Hide letter cutouts or sticky notes around the house and have your child find them.
Alphabet Bingo: Play a classic bingo game using letters instead of numbers.
Hands-On Practice
Tracing Worksheets: Print free handwriting worksheets to practice tracing letters with a pencil or highlighter.
Letter Magnets: Use magnetic letters on a refrigerator or cookie sheet to spell letters and simple words.
Alphabet Blocks: Arrange alphabet blocks to build letters and practice forming them.
Songs & Rhymes
