One of our favorite activities is practicing letter sounds through interactive games. It's amazing to watch the students eagerly call out their letter sounds while engaging with the games—it doesn't feel like \"work\" to them, it feels like fun! Letter crafts have become even more exciting as students now have the space and materials to create incredible artwork tied to each week's letter.\r\nA recent favorite project involved learning shapes in a deliciously fun way—by cutting them out of bread! Students carefully cut their bread to make circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares. After sharing their creations with classmates, they got to enjoy eating their shapes.
