Distance Learning Opportunities week 3/16-20
This week we will continue to learn about letters. Before break, we focused on learning everyone's first initial. This week we
will learn about all the letters in our first name.
Letter Recognition
Spell out your child's name on a piece of paper. See what letters they can recognize on their own.
(I also have templates I made before the break. If you would like a copy of your child's name, I will happily send it you)
