****Guess what?! Letter of the Week lesson plans are getting an overhaul! I’m going through and updating all plans, adding new free worksheets and making sure all links are up to date! I’ve created a bunch of templates too for some of the crafts that’ll make your life a lot easier! Hang tight! It may take some time to get through all the letters, but it’s coming soon!! If you’re seeing this message, this post has already been updated!***
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 13th letter! We are officially halfway through the alphabet which makes us halfway through the series!
