As we continue to work through the alphabet, adding a new letter and many vocabulary words each and every week, we're also working on printing and reading fellow classmates' names.
In this activity students had to pull letter tiles out of a bowl and copy the names of their classmates that contained those letters. It really got them talking with the other kids in their group about whose name has which letters! After completing the activity they read me some of the names that they had printed.
At this time we are really focusing on proper letter formation. For tips on how to encourage proper letter formation I recommend the 'Handwriting Without Tears' website where you can find resources such as these printables for printing lowercase and uppercase letters (click to link to the pages):
