Nicholas and I looked at the letter "Nn" and the sound /n/, as in "Nicholas." I had Nicholas stretch the word, focusing on /n/--- NNNNNicholas. Every "Nn" word we looked at, today, was stretched in this manner. We looked at the "Nn" letter card and identified the picture of the "nest." I showed Nicholas a picture of a "nose," glued to an index card. Each letter we look at will be placed on an index card and sent home for letter and sound practice. We named this "nose," "Noisy Nose," and we watched a two minute video of "Mr. Noisy Nose" on YouTube. Nicholas then made an "N" out of play doh. I read, "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" for enjoyment and exposure to letters. Nicholas took it upon himself to point out letters in his name when we read the page where all the letters fell out of the tree. Nicholas worked on creating a Chicka, Chicka Boom Boom tree of his own. On Monday, he will glue the letters of his name to the tree. The next activity focused on Nicholas supplying a word beginning with /n/...for example, The sun shines in the daytime and the moon shines at ______. Nicholas printed his name on a whiteboard and we tried naming the letters.
