Kindergarten, week 8, day 2

New sound: l says /l/

1. Say the sound /l/ together, the sound at the start of lamp, leg and log. Keep it short and crisp, without an "uh" after it.
2. Show big L and small l. Trace each with a finger, then write a row of each.
3. Sort toys or pictures into two piles: e words and l words.

• Letter wheel A to Zteach.peabody.kids/wheel/letters
• Copywork maker: print a line to copyteach.peabody.kids/homeschool/aids/copywork

Beside and next to

1. Line up three toys. Which is next to the bear? Which is beside the car?
2. Move them around and ask again.

Leaf rubbings

1. Put a leaf under thin paper and rub over it with the side of a crayon.
2. Look at the lines (veins): they carry water through the leaf.

Read-aloud: Johnny Appleseed

1. Read “Johnny Appleseed” aloud, with your child beside you where they can see the pictures.
2. Stop halfway and ask: what do you think will happen next?
