Letter Learning /e/ 
The letter /e/ has two sounds.  The short vowel sound as in elephant, egg, and elm.  The long vowel sound is easily identified as it clearly says its name, in words such as evil and eel.

The uppercase E is a fairly easy letter to form.  Start at the top of the page and make a straight line down.  Jump back up to the top and make a short horizontal line. Jump to the middle of the vertical line and make another short horizontal line.  Finally, move to the bottom of the vertical line and make another short horizontal line.

Writing the lowercase letter /e/ can be tricky.  We begin in the middle of the lower section of the square.  Draw a short line from left to right, then go around like a magic "c".  Often this letter takes a little practice so 5-10 minutes at home 3-4 times a week can be really helpful to develop your child's fine motor skills.


Last Week:

Students have many varied opportunities to explore letters during centre time.
"Look at my letter chart."

"I wonder what this line is for? Maybe it is to help us practice our balance."
Placing numbers on our number line.

What numbers do you know?


"L is for lion."
