Alphabet Play: The Letter O

April 20, 2014momstownToddlersNo comments
Today we learned about the letter O!

The letter O is outstanding!

It's round, shaped like a circle, and has a hole in the middle.

 

During Alphabet Play, we learned how to make the letter O with our hands through a quick fingerplay:

Here is an O (thumb & index finger)

And here's an O (2 hands to form an O)

And a great big O you see (use both arms for an O)

Are you ready?

Can you count them?

1, 2, 3 !

 

O is for:

O is for octopus – it has eight legs
O is for omelet – it's made out of eggs

O is for old – the opposite of young
O is for opera – where lots of songs are sung

O is for otter – it lives by the sea
O is for oxygen – we need it to breathe

O is for orange – watch out for the seeds
O is for October – lots of falling leaves

O is for octagon – an eight sided shape
O is for olive – it looks like a grape

O is for office – where work is done
O is for ostrich – see how fast they run!

 

We enjoyed a yummy snack of Alpha-Bits cereal, that was provided by our sponsor Post Alpha-Bits while we made our O craft.

Our uppercase O was an Owl and our lowercase o was an Ostrich.

We even made a handprint octopus and an oyster!
