Sounds from Unseen Objects and Curves to the Right

  1. Sounds from Unseen Objects:
    • We can hear sounds even when we don’t see the objects making them. For example, a bell makes a “ding-dong” sound 🔔.
  2. Locating Sounds:
    • We can find where sounds come from by listening carefully. If we hear a bird chirping 🐦, we know it’s in a tree.
  3. Pre-Writing Skills – Curves to the Right:
    • Practice connecting dots to make curves that go to the right ➡️. This helps us with writing skills.

Introduction to Letter Sound /b/:

  • Identifying Sounds: We can name objects by their sounds, like “buzz” for a bee 🐝 or “splash” for water 💦.
  • Connecting Dots and Letter Sound /b/:
    • Practice connecting dots to form curves that go to the right. This helps with writing skills.
    • Learn the letter sound /b/ as in bag 🎒, bed 🛏️, ball ⚽, etc.
