The Letter People are the most popular thing about kindergarten. This is a program that introduces letters and letter sounds. These inflatable people hold the hearts of children. Each letter has a different character who represents it. B - Beautiful Buttons. Each letter has its own song. Each character also has a "newspaper" that shows pictures of things that begin with that letter sound.
All of the Letter People were introduced during the first nine weeks of school. Many teachers have all of the characters still displayed in their classrooms. Occasionally they rearrange the characters in order to spell words. When the kids get to school in the morning, they search for the hidden word. My friend, and colleague, Nellie (another new teacher) asked her fiance to "hide a word" for the kiddos. Needless to say Rick is a Cavs fan. :) We're pretty positive that a good majority of 6 year old boys would be able to find that word!
Go Cavs!
