 * <span style="color: #0071ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The children will all sit in a circle on the floor.
 * <span style="color: #0071ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Provide them with a small basket with simple picture cards in it.
 * <span style="color: #0071ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Begin passing the basket around when music starts playing.
 * <span style="color: #0071ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">After a few seconds, stop the music.
 * <span style="color: #0071ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Have the child who is holding the basket reach in and pull out a picture.
 * <span style="color: #0071ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The child says the name of the picture and then says the beginning sound of that word.
 * <span style="color: #0071ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Continue until all of the children have had a chance to name a card.

 * <span style="color: #800000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Grouping: Divide the class into small groups and use this as one of the activities during reading time. This must be the group that the teacher or another adult/ helper in the classroom helps with. These groups can be determined by the teacher, reading level/ability, etc. This is at the teacher's discretion.

 * <span style="color: #800000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Give each child an egg carton and several dried beans.
 * <span style="color: #800000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Instruct them to place a bean in an egg carton compartment each time they hear a certain sound at the beginning of a word.
 * <span style="color: #800000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Make up several sentences which contain the same first sound (e.g. "My mother married a mad movie star" would call for 5 beans).
 * <span style="color: #800000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Use several different sounds and different lengths of sentences.
 * <span style="color: #800000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Repeat sentences as needed so all children are successful.

 * <span style="color: #0071ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> Objective: Have students practice using the same beginning word sounds and remember other words with the same beginning sound.
 * <span style="color: #0071ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Plan:
 * <span style="color: #0071ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Play a variation of the "I'm going on a trip" game by only taking items that begin with a certain sound.
 * <span style="color: #0071ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Have one child start by saying, "I'm going on a trip and I'm taking a dog." The child next to him in the circle says, "I'm going on a trip and I'm taking a dog and a doctor.
 * <span style="color: #0071ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Continue around the circle until the children run out of ideas or someone forgets, and then start a new sentence with a different beginning sound.

 * <span style="color: #800000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Plan:
 * <span style="color: #800000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">The book "Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?" by Dr. Seuss is a great book for the preschool classroom. You can use these preschool activities for the book “Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?” before, during, and after reading.
 * <span style="color: #800000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Tell the children that you are going to make a noise, and that they should identify what object makes that noise. Then choose some common noises from the book, such as “tick tock,” “knock knock,” “moo moo,” or “choo choo.” As the children guess correctly, congratulate them on their listening skills. Then ask them to take turns making some other common noises (e.g., baa baa, neigh, pop), and have the rest of the children identify the animal or object that might make that noise. Explain to the children that you will now be reading a book about Mr. Brown, who is very good at making noises. He even makes noises for things like a frying pan or rain! Encourage students to try to guess what Mr. Brown will choose for some of the uncommon noises in the book.
 * <span style="color: #800000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Read the book with students, making sure to keep the rhythm moving. When the book asks “Mr. Brown can do it, how about you?” or similar questions, let the children respond by making the noise in question. When you reach the page about the butterfly, lower your voice and speak very softly to emphasize the uniqueness of the page.
 * <span style="color: #800000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">On the board, brainstorm things that might make interesting noises, such as a leaky faucet, a snowball hitting a wall, a boot stepping in a puddle, a washing machine, or a car’s windshield wipers. Then have students work in small groups to come up with a sound that each of the objects might make. Have them share the sounds with the class.
 * <span style="color: #800000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Have a volunteer come to the front of the classroom. Whisper a description of a noise into her ear, such as “a fire engine” or “a helicopter.” Have her make the sound that she thinks the object makes, and encourage the rest of the class to guess what the object is.
