We began with a review of the letter "Nn" and the sound/n/. We did this by looking at our picture of "Noisy Nose" (which Nicholas remembered immediately) and the letter card with "Nn"and a picture of a "nest." Nicholas then printed his name on the dry erase board and we reviewed that his name begins with "Nn" /n/. Nicholas completed his "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" activity by placing stick-on letters, which spelled his name, on the tree. We then engaged in additional activities to reinforce "Nn" /n/. Nicholas found the capital "N" magnetic letter and its "best friend," the small "n." We then looked at pictures of things beginning with /n/ and placed each one on the felt board...necklace, nail, nest, needle, nose. For each word we stretched our arms as we stretched the "nnnnnn" sound at the start of each word. We then looked at an environmental print picture which showed the letter "Nn" and the "no smoking" sign. Nicholas then began to look at the letters "Ss" and the sound /s/. Nicholas made the /s/ by pretending he was a snake (sssss). We then looked at two letter cards, one with a "sandwich" and one with a "silly snowman." We watched a two minute video with a song called, "I'm a Little Snowman." Nicholas made a capital "S" and a small "s" with play doh. His final activity today, was to glue various sizes and colors of the letter "S" on to a large "S."
