Things we did to learn about the letter R included:
* jumping the letter on the floor and sounding it out every time we entered the room
* celebrating every student who has an R in their name
* making an R anchor chart
* performing the Dancing Raisins experiment, with Sprite and Raisins
* coloring the letter R like a Rainbow, and then tearing and gluing construction paper onto it (R
template can be downloaded from here.)
* cutting and pasting shapes (rectangles, square, triangles) into the shape of a Robot (you can get my
template here!)
* using food coloring to turn rice into rainbow colors (Note: Some recipes suggest using alcohol to make the food color stick to the rice. Alcohol helps to make the rice a more consistant color. But not using alcohol creates more verigated colors.) We then used the rice to fill in rainbows.
* using Rocks to practice math problems
* wearing Red on Fun Fun Friday, and eating Raisins for snacks
