Learning
about animals can help us learn the letters of the alphabet too! There
are lots of cool animals in Yellowstone
National Park that are really excited about helping you learn the
letters of the alphabet. Travel with me as we learn facts about
these wild animals and practice our letters! Which animal is your
favorite? |
         |
Uppercase and lowercase letters are both very
important! We use uppercase letters for special words like our names
and at the beginning of sentences. We use lowercase letters to finish
the rest of our words. Trace these letters and practice saying their
sounds with
the
Lil' Fingers
Storybook
that is just for kids! |
 |
Games can be fun and help you
learn! ABC Match-Up tests your memory. Click on a letter and identify it. Then click on another letter. Do the two letters match up? If they don't try again until you find a match! Try to remember where to find the letters you clicked on again so you can match a pair! GOOD LUCK!! |

Steps for
Real-World Activity
1. I have a few websites to
give you some ideas of animals to draw. Try visiting: Bembo's Zoo, Alphabet Animals, or
the Yellowstone
National Park site.2. While you are visiting each website look carefully at the pictures of the animals and decide which one you want to draw. Remember which letter the animal's name begins with! 3. Draw a picture of your animal. Ask a teacher to help you decorate your picture with glitter if you like. 4. What is your animal called? Write the matching uppercase and lowercase letters of the beginning letter of that animal's name beside the picture of your animal. For example if you draw a camel, write Cc beside your picture! 5. Congratulations! You have just helped Mr. Alpha rewrite his book! His book is a success because you know your alphabet letters! |
