Munchers

I saw these great ideas to help with literacy. You could "feed the trash cans/ monster all sorts of things: ABC cards, magnet letters, colors, shapes, etc. To go to these awesome blogs, with even more incredible ideas, click on the pics. On the Dr. jean and Friends website is this darling song:

(Sung to the tune Tiny Tim)
I have a hungry friend.
His name is Mr. Munch
And what he likes to do all day is gobble up his lunch.
He likes the letter ___ (for example H)
And things that start with ___(make /h/ sound)
And he is very happy when he goes munch, munch, munch, crunch.

I'm not sure when I will use this, but I thought it was darling! I love this book too! So do the kids. Maybe I could leave it up on the wall and we could add to it each week as we learn our alphabet letters.

ABC Game

Need to practice identifying the letters we have worked on thus far. So I am making a large set of letters (A-J) for each kiddo. I will cut and place them scattered on the floor. Then, I will call out a letter, and they will have to run and find it on the floor. There will be enough that each should be able to step on one. Should be fun!
