Lesson Objectives

“A” is for Apple: Are there any students in your class who have an “a” in their names — if so, how is it pronounced? Practice sounding out long and short vowel sounds as a class to discover the different ways “a” is used!
Do the Twist: Get creative with fine motor practice during this craft! Cut the fuzzy sticks into different sizes to create bigger and smaller apples to test their flexibility.
