Thinking of \"one word\" of encouragement and using alphabet beads to spell it out on the bracelet, keychain or lanyard has been such a fun way for them to be intentional and thoughtful. Some of the \"one words\" students have come up with are: grace, hope, brave, smile, strong, and friend. \r\n\r\nAlthough students enjoy making these beaded gifts for others, the students love to see how this small, unexpected gift overwhelms the person receiving it.

My first and second grade students absolutely love the miniature objects that correspond with each letter. They are already making the connection between the letter, sound, and object. This hands-on learning activity has inspired them to look around the class to find other objects that begin with the same letter sound as the letter(s) we are focusing on. \r\n\r\nWe have also extended the activity so that students bring objects from home that begin with the same letter and corresponding sound. These skills will help students as they begin to blend the sounds together to read words, sentences, and books!
