Today, we will learn how to write lowercase letters correctly through a fun story about Wally the Worm, who needs our help!
Gather the students in a circle on the carpet.
"Good morning, everyone! 👋 Today, we are going to have a special adventure with Wally the Worm! Wally loves to wiggle in the dirt and explore, but he has a problem. He wants to write his name and tell all his worm friends stories, but he doesn’t know how to write his lowercase letters properly! 😱 Can you help him?"
Begin with an engaging storytelling approach:
"Once upon a time, in a beautiful green garden, there lived a little worm named Wally. Wally had a bright green body and lots of tiny wiggly segments. Wally loved to wiggle through the soft soil, but there was one thing he wanted to do more than anything else—write his name and share how much he loved his garden friends!"
Pause for effect.
"But Wally noticed that when he tried to write his name, ‘w-a-l-l-y,’ the letters looked all jumbled up! Some were too big, and some were upside down. Wally felt sad and thought, ‘If only I could write my lowercase letters correctly! I could share my adventures!'"
"Let’s think about what happens next! If Wally learns to write his letters correctly, what kind of stories do you think he could tell?"
Allow a few students to share their ideas, encouraging creativity and excitement. The more engaged they are, the better!
"That's right! Wally could tell us about his wiggly adventures, and we could write it down! So today, we will help Wally by practicing writing our lowercase letters together! Just like Wally, we will learn to make our letters neatly and correctly! Are you ready to wiggle our fingers and get started? Let’s help Wally!"
"Remember, just like Wally learned to write, we can learn too! Let’s make our letters as wiggly and perfect as Wally the Worm! Ready, set, write!" ✍️
This fun and imaginative introduction sets the stage for a lesson on writing lowercase letters while engaging students through storytelling and interaction. Enjoy your adventure with Wally!
