The Letter G Sensory Bin was interesting to make. It was easy to come up with words that start with G, but not as easy to find objects in the house that start with G. What we did end up finding was Gloves, Grapes, Goats, a Gift, a Gate, and Giraffes. (Using Giraffes for G sometimes annoys me; since it sounds more like J, I think it confuses kids). Several foam G's, our G book, and our singing magnet.
Once I gave it to Eli we quickly realized the batteries in the magnet had died. Luckily the girls had swept out from under the freezer looking for a toy, so we found our smaller magnet that works with the same letters. Eli loved the giraffes and goats, and he offered to let me eat the grapes. Then he played with the magnet for a while.

It wasn't long and he ran off to make the giraffes run around the coffee table!

This is a great idea to have a sensory bucket for each letter! I love it! Thanks for sharing. I teach my boys that G says two sounds /g/ and /j/. I used to teach a phonetic program when teaching that taught the multiple sounds for letters. I found it helpful. Just an fyi.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Everything i have found does teach both, but now my 4 year old is sounding words out using /j/ instead for G. Maybe it is just her, but it is frustrating to try and fix!
DeleteI love this! I gotta get me some letter bins, A4 would love these.

ReplyDeleteThanks Trisha! My little guy seems to like them even if he is too little to really understand it all!
