3's--> Letter Toss

     This week we worked on letter recognition.  We have not taught all of our letters yet, but I wanted to see how many we recognized.  Most of our kids know the letters in their name, even though we haven't taught them yet.  And they recognize the "easy" letters- o, s, a, z.  To check these, we played a bean bag game.  The kids took turns tossing the bean bag on to a letter.   They then had to tell us the name of the letter.  If they didn't know it, we'd see if anyone else in the class recognized the letter.  I then repeated the name of the letter and the sound that it made.  Some of the kids were aiming for letters in their name and had fun trying to find the letter on the board.
