= The Alphabet Lesson =

==The Alphabet is a crucial part of learning at such a young age. It is upon the alphabet that we build speech, reading and writing. Learning your letters can be very fun and it is definitely a valuable tool. == Kindergarteners are very visual and auditory learners so by showing videos and singing songs, they can see the letter and hear the sound it makes at the same time. Being interactive and hands-on is also a great tool for young students, I will take I will emply this tool by letting them play games that are fun, educational and very interactive. After they have watched the video to learn letters and their sounds and played the games to practice, they can take the fun quiz about animals and the alphabet. After this lesson, the students will be able to match each letter with the specific sound that it makes. They will also be able to identify the letter by looking at it and determining it's shape. Once they have employed the videos and games they will be able to pass the quiz at the end of the Student Activity Page. We will be using:
 * Videos
 * Matching Games
 * Tracing Games
 * Printable Worksheets
 * Online Quiz

Each child will be assigned to a computer and will be let through the page. I will do a brief introduction to all of the elements of the Student Activity page then let the students browse the page on their own. I will, of course, be walking around the room to help and to guide the students in the right direction. The quiz is something that we will do more that once in the coming weeks just to make sure that they really grasp the concept of the alphabet and of the letter sounds. We will also continue to do the printables to keep the student well versed in letter and how to write them. I am excited to try this new way of teaching. It will be great to see the children learning and taking in all of the information provided but I'm sure that I'll learn a thing or two as well.
