🎶 Warm-Up: Sound Song Circle

1. Gather in a Circle:

Let’s all sit in a big circle. How about we start with a fun song?

2. Sing the “Sound Blending Song”:

(To the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star")

Blend, blend, sounds so bright,
Hear them softly take their flight.
B and L make the sound "bl,"
Can you hear it? Let’s do it all!
Blend those sounds, just like a game,
Math and letters, never the same!

✨ Activity: Blending Sounds with Math Shapes

1. Show and Tell:

Now, let’s look at some shapes we've learned in Math, like squares, circles, and triangles!

2. Shape Matching Game:

• Cut out some shape cards and sound cards.
• For example, match a square with the sound "s-q," or a circle with the sound "c-i."
• As we blend these sounds together, we'll discover fun new words related to shapes!

🤔 Reflection: Time to Share!

Finally, let’s sit back down in our circle and share what we learned today.

• Question: What sound goes with the triangle?
• Answer: "T-r!"

Great job, everyone! You’ve all done an amazing job blending sounds and shapes.

🎉 Conclusion: The Adventure Continues!

Remember, blending sounds is just like solving a math problem. Let’s keep practicing, and soon we’ll be blending our way through numbers, shapes, and beyond!

Thank you for being such wonderful explorers today! 🌈
