As we usher our way back from a restful holiday break, we got back into the swing of things by practicing our rhyming skills and matching upper and lowercase letters. When rhyming, the children discovered that it does not matter what the first letter is, as long as the ending of the words sound the same. When we found words that matched, the puzzle pieces fit together. As the children matched the capital and lowercase letters, they had to find the picture that began with that particular letter. If the letters match, the puzzle pieces fit! The children did an excellent job exploring the letters.
