Fun with the Letter "M" Sound: A Creative Lesson Introduction

Welcome, Little Learners!

Hello, wonderful first graders! Today, we’re going to embark on a magical adventure that begins with the letter M! Are you ready? Let's make it super fun!

🎈 Magical Mystery Box!

What You'll Need:

• A mystery box (any box you can close)
• Small items that start with the letter "M" (e.g., a toy mouse, a mini mirror, a melon slice, etc.)
• A colorful letter 'M' drawing to hang on the board

Step 1: Introduce the Mystery Box

Start the lesson by showing the students the mystery box. Ask them:

"What could be inside this special box? Let’s find out together!"

Step 2: Draw the 'M'

Before opening the box, point to the letter 'M' drawing on the board. Say:

"This is the letter 'M,' and it makes a marvelous sound! Can you say 'M' with me?"

Step 3: Discover the Treasure

As you take each item out of the box, encourage the students to guess what it is. Each time you pull something out, emphasize the "M" sound:

• "Look at this toy mouse!"
• "What a shiny mirror!"
• "Yummy, a juicy melon!"

Step 4: Class Participation

Once you’ve taken everything out of the box, ask students:

"Can you think of anything else that starts with the letter 'M'? Let’s share our ideas!"

Step 5: Create a 'M' Chart

As students mention different words, write them on a whiteboard or chart paper. Title it “Marvelous Words with 'M'”.

Wrap-Up

Conclude the lesson introduction by explaining that today, we’ll be diving deeper into the letter 'M' sound through stories, songs, and games. Get excited because the letter 'M' is going to lead us to a world full of words!
