It has taken me a long time to get into the groove of blogging. I would like to begin by sharing an idea for letter recognition. Using test tubes purchased from Steve Spangler, add small items for each letter. Ex. small apple erasers for the letter "A", and so on. Then add a sticker dot with the letter to the end cap of the test tube. Have students match up letter cards with correct letter tube. I also have the students put the letter test tubes in order.


Suggested list of items:

A-apple erasers

B-buttons

C-cotton ball

D-Dime

E-Elastic

F-Fish

G-Easter grass

H-hippo

I-insects
