Letter of the Week:  Z

Handwriting Practice:  Z

Getting to Know the letter

Zebra Stripes {Letter-Sound Association}
This idea was taken from the Education Center's Circle Time from A to Z. {Students draw a zigzag or a zebra stripe on the letter Z.  Students say the /z/ sound as they take turns.}

Loose at the Zoo {Letter Identification}
This idea was taken from the Education Center's Circle Time from A to Z. {All the "Zs" escaped from the zoo, along with some other letters.  Students choose a letter.  If it is the letter Z, students can put the letter back in the cage at the zoo.  If not, the letter doesn't go back in the cage.}

Catching Some Zs {Letter Recognition}
This idea was taken from the Education Center's Circle Time from A to Z. {If a student chooses a letter Z, all of the students repeat, "I'm catching some Zs!"
 and pretend to sleep.  If the letter is not a Z, students identify the letter and wait for the next card.}
