Can you believe it?!? Back to school season is upon us! Time to get back into those school bedtime and wake up/morning routines. To flow with conversations you are probably already having with your young ones, our theme this week is school and our letter, ‘s’.
letter 's', letter of the week, school | in Letter of the Week, Themes So… ‘X’. Finding a theme that fits nicely with the letter ‘x’ is… well, it’s tricky! I found a super cute craft turning an ‘x’ into a pirate. And pirates have the whole “x marks the spot” thing (not to mention those cross bones that look like an ‘x’). And who doesn’t like pirate play?
letter 'x', letter of the week, pirates | in Letter of the Week ‘B’ is a consonant. /b/ is one of the first developing speech sounds. From a speech perspective, ‘b’ is a lip popper. The lips are doing the work to make this sound. The lips are closed and then pop open as we force a burst of air out. ‘B’ is a noisy sound (we turn on our voice – vocal cords vibrate – to make this sound).

However, we make stronger brain connections when there is a context and through meaningful activities and interactions. Learning through experience and exploration leads to better understanding and retention.
