Letter Bb is our letter of the week this week and we “wrote” it with our feet today! We took turns walking our letter Bb while the other children came up with words that began with the /b/ sound. We focused on the similarities and differences of the uppercase B and the lowercase b. We also learned that whenever we write a letter we always start at the top of the letter and pull down. The children began at the top of each letter and walk it the same way we would correctly write it on paper.
Children learn best in many different ways. Some children are auditory learners, learning best while listening. Some children are visual learners. These children learn best when there is something visual to go along with something new that is introduced. Other children are kinesthetic learners. These children typically learn best by moving, doing and touching. They are naturally good at physical activities like sports and dance. They enjoy learning through hands-on methods. Kinesthetic learners learn best through doing including manipulating items, simulations and role plays, and other methods that physically involve them in the learning process. They enjoy and learn well from experimenting and first hand experience. Always keep this in mind when working with your child at home. Incorporating an activity that best fits your child’s learning style will make the experience more fruitful and more fun for both of you!
