Objective
By the end of this lesson, Aleksander will create a fun collage featuring the uppercase and lowercase letter B. He will use paint, stamps, and cut-out images of items that start with the letter B to enhance his understanding of the letter and its sounds.
Materials and Prep
- Q-tips
- Paint (preferably in colors that Aleksander enjoys)
- Letter B templates (both uppercase and lowercase)
- Stamps of the letter B
- Safety scissors
- Glue stick
- Magazines or printouts with images of things that start with the letter B (like ball, banana, boat, etc.)
Before the lesson, prepare the area with newspaper or a mat to catch any paint spills. Make sure all materials are within reach for easy access.
Activities
-
Painting the Letter B: Aleksander will dip a Q-tip in paint and use it to trace both the uppercase and lowercase letter B on the templates. This will help him practice his fine motor skills and recognize the shape of the letter.
-
Stamping Fun: After painting, Aleksander will use the letter B stamps to add more B's to his collage. This activity will reinforce letter recognition and sound association.
-
Cut and Paste: Aleksander will look through magazines or printouts to find images of things that start with the letter B. He will cut them out with safety scissors and glue them onto his collage. This will help him connect the letter B with words and objects.
Talking Points
- "Look at this big B! Can you say 'B'?"
- "What color do you want to paint the letter B?"
- "Let's find some things that start with B! Can you think of any?"
- "Great job cutting! Now let's glue it on the B collage!"
- "Wow, look at all the B's we made! B is for banana, ball, and boat!"
