The Alphabet Fair
Who doesn't love a fair! Some of my favorite memories involve tiger ears, crazy corn, and hot dogs on a stick! I enjoy bringing that fair-fun feeling into the classroom as an introduction to our study of the alphabet!
One game students always enjoys from the unit is "Cotton Candy Letters."It is a simple early-uppercase alphabet letter match that serves as a good review and/or a great introduction to uppercase letters. And yes after playing, each student will enjoy a small taste of the yummy sugary stuff .
