One of the cutest kindergarteners I ever taught created his own cute trick for remembering the letter M. She always said, “Mmmmmmmm, M&Ms, my favorite!” He had the cutest little voice and dimples for days!

I’m of the age that I remember my teacher telling us to remember “Mmmmm, like Campbells soup.” I highly doubt today’s kids would know what that meant, some M & Ms is probably a safe bet.

However, they remember it, today I’m sharing with you a week of super cute letter M crafts and activities. And…letter M is the 13^th letter! We are officially halfway through the alphabet which makes us halfway through the series!

Summer’s not even officially started and it’s hot here!  My summer plan to survive the heat is to spend our summers around a sprinkler or in the pool.

Or we could just revisit this week’s lesson over and over.  There are lots of icy, fun activities this week. Perfect for a summer day!
