Letter of the Week - Letter Nn

I love our letter of the week program that we use inKindergarten!  We start the year off with letter of the day and then follow it with letter of the week.  Completing letter of the week allows students to be familiar with alphabet order and creates an organized plan for lessons.  This week, our letter of the week is letter Nn.  One word to have fun with during Nn week is the word nest.  My favorite book for this week is The Best Nest, written by P.D.Eastman

After reading this story, the students use their fine motor skill to build a nest and paint some eggs in it.  This story lends itself to sequencing events.  We make a list of the places Mr. and Mrs. Bird went to try and find a new nest.  We mix them up and try to put them back in the correct order. We also follow up the next day by using the word nest in our word family activities.  My Kinders always come up with a great list of words that rhyme with nest!

A second story we read during Nn week is The Napping House!  Another all time favorite with beautiful illustrations.  This story is the absolute best for sequencing.

I discovered The Napping House Wakes Up a few years ago and this one is a lot of fun too! (It is a pop up book) Definitely worth checking out! :)
