Fun Activity for this quarter
It is very important for future grades that students learn in Kindergarten the correct way to form the letters of the alphabet. They can practice the correct letter formations as well as the letter names and sounds with a cheap and easy salt tray. To change it up they can use their finger, a toothpick, or a straw.
As they write the letter they can say, "A says /a/." "B says /b/.", etc.
