Early Intervention

IntroductionToday we are giants protecting our castle from outside intruders. In order to keep them out we must strengthen our wall with bricks. No ordinary bricks will do. Our bricks must contain a magic letter that increases our strength every time we speak them. These words all begin with the letter “Ff”.

Task  In order to build our fortress our bricks must be strong. Today in class we will practice the proper

mouth position to use when making the “Ff” sound.

We will begin a new tongue twister as practice for our new

sound today and race to see how fast it can be said

We will also continue working on our writing skills by completing a note to our parents and use our

very best printing to sign our name to our notes.

Finally, we will identify what work needs to be completed tonight and give examples of pictures that begin with the letter “Ff”. Everyone will complete a magic brick tonight at home so we can

build our fortress tomorrow

PROCESSToday:

Start - We will review the letter “Ff” while in computer labMiddle - We will check-in with “Henry” and make sure our

mouths match his so we can practice our new sound correctly

Finish - We will have a contest to see who can say our tongue twister the fastest.

Before We Go Home:1st -We will print and complete our notes home to mom

and dad asking for help tonight2nd -We will pack our glue sticks and safety scissors to take

home so we can complete our magic bricks3rd- We will ask questions in case we do not understand.
