Letter B
Materials:
- Print capital and lower case 'B' - I used the ones found at this coloring page site.
- Buttons
- Glue
*** I like to cut the letters and glue them on cardstock to create a firm base for our activity first.
Steps:
1. I placed a bunch of buttons in a little plate for her and asked her what these were called. She said 'botones.' That's right, botones or buttons both begin with the same letter, B / b.
2. I asked 'what is the letter for buttons / botones? She looked and responded [be] when she saw it on the paper. Then she said [bee].
3. [be] in Spanish and [bee] in English both refer to the same letter.
She told me there was a big [be] and a 'ochito' (chiquitito/small) [be] on the paper.
4. Then she glued buttons on the capital and lowercase b.
We will use this poster as the introduction for our week doing crafts with this letter.
