Poetry is a great idea. (We sing this song from Dr. Jean I believe: "Hello ___ Hello ___ Hello __ We're glad you're here today." It's to the tune of Hello Ladies.)<br />❀ Tammy<br /><i><b><a href="http://foreverin1st.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Forever in First</a></b></i>Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053983168084838303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704209166001504321.post-41233952083535239492013-09-04T21:52:04.960-05:002013-09-04T21:52:04.960-05:00Thanks for linking up, Lori!

This year we adopted Wilson Fundations so I need to do that 3 days a week. I also agree that phonemic awareness is so important in addition to learning letters. Last year I had many kindergartners knowing letters and sounds, but were unable to hear rhyming words and distinguishing between letter sounds. Thanks again for sharing!Lee Ann Raseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704152224334275682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704209166001504321.post-46728665619483143762013-09-04T07:34:54.341-05:002013-09-04T07:34:54.341-05:00Thank you so much for this idea and poem, Lori!

After starting with my kindergartners yesterday, I already am noticing we'll need to be doing lots with getting to know the letters in each child's name because they also were struggling. This activity will be perfect- and I have that book too-- definitely will be referring to it frequently!<br />Have a great day!<br />Aylin <br /><i><b><a href="http://dailylearningtothecore.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Learning to the Core</a></b></i> Aylin Claahsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04059907024549966770noreply@blogger.com
