School/Pre-K - Sara Cornetti / Letter Day Lyrics

Letter A

(To Down by the Station)

A is for Alice,
who met an alligator,
swishing down the alleyway
on Apple Avenue.
"Shoo!" said Alice.
"I'm allergic to all gators:
Ah-choo! Ah-choo!"
Off she flew.

 

Letter B

(To Ninety-nine Bottles)

Bubba's best buddy
was Bingo the Bear.
Bubba was Bingo's
best friend.
They both lived 
together
on Blueberry Lane,
picking big berries
in sun and in rain.

Letter C

(Do Your Ears Hang Low?)

Can you bake a cake?
Can you cook a T-bone steak?
Can you make a chocolate malted?
Can you make and ice-cream shake?
Can you boil a cup of water?
Clean the dishes like you ought to?
Can you bake a cake?

Letter D

(To Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)

Donkey, dragon, dungeon, drip,
doodle, dumpling, double-dip,
dandelion, dungarees. ..
all these words begin with D.
Doll and doughnut, dinosaur...
Can you name a dozen more?

Letter E

(to Yankee Doodle)

Every morning Eloise
has hard-boilded eggs for breakfast.
She never ever eats them fried
"cause boiled eggs are the tastiest!
Eloise the elephant,
thinks that eggs are dandy.
She eats eleven every day
and says they taste like candy.

Letter F

(To Alouette)

Five fast fishes swimming 
down the river.
Five fast fishes swimming 
down the stream.
Swimming past five floating logs.
Swimming past five croaking frogs.
Floating logs. Croaking frogs.
Floating logs. Croaking frogs.
Five fast fishes.

Letter G

(to Ta Ra Ra Bomm De Ay)

Gert's Grandpa Gregory
grew whiskers past his knee.
They grew around and 'round.
They grew down to the ground.
"Good golly," Gert declared,
"Gramp's got a goofy beard."
So Grandma Gwendolyn
shaved Grandpa's chin!

Letter H

(to Miss Lucie Had a Baby)

Hannah had the hiccups,
hic, hic, hic, hic, hic, hic.
All that hic, hic, hiccupping
made Hanna feel quite sick.
Her daddy didn't worry.
He knew just what to do.
To scare away her hiccups,
he simply hollered, "BOO!"

Letter I

(To Clementine)

In an igloo on an island,
In a sea of icy water,
lived an inchworm named Ignatius
and his itsy-bitsy daughter.

She was smaller than an inkblot
and her name was Isabelle.
She didn't need a cradle
"cause she slept in a seashell.

Letter L

An octopus swam in the ocean,
swam over the waves in the sea.

Oh, me! Oh, my!
That octopus just waved "bye-bye!"

Letter P

My uncle's ukelele
goes unka, plunka, doo.

floating upstairs to my room.

Letter Z:

Z is for Zelda,
who zoomed off to Mars.
She zigged and she zagged past a zillion bright stars.
She zipped to the left and
she zapped to the right.
Then Zelda zoomed home by
the moon's golden light.

Letter of the Week K/1st Focus Wall Set for PowerPoint - Heidi Songs

This is a PowerPoint version of our Letter of the Week Focus Wall. This gives children daily practice in the identification of the alphabet, and also in recognizing those letters in various fonts.

This K/1st version has the Alphabet Formation song lyrics included, whereas the PreK/TK grade version has the Letters and Sounds song lyrics instead. Otherwise, they are identical in every other way.

Please note: This set does NOT include the audio files for the songs. If you want this product in the Google Slides format with audio, they are available on Heidi's Teachers Pay Teachers store here.

When you display each slide, the kids will:

- Say the letter name and sound
- Sing/chant the song for each letter (Audio files are NOT included for the letters, find us on Spotify to sing along! The VIDEO is an additional rental fee on our streaming site, Uscreen. )
- Draw the letter in the air
- Do the “Alphabet Action” (such as “run” for the letter R in the top right of the chart.)
-Give a thumbs up or down if the letter shown is the letter of the week (there are ten practice slides for each letter for this.)
-Build the letter with anything they have, such as cereal, pennies, blocks, etc.
-Listen to clues to some beginning sound words, and guess what word it is. Kids can say it, draw it, or go find one, etc.

During the "Guess What" interactive portion, use the student clue cards you will find in a PDF in the zip file. We've included both color and black and white versions of each picture on the slides. First have the kids cut out the cards. Then, while you read the clues, have the students look for the picture that the clue is describing and hold it up! This allows the children to respond non-verbally if necessary, with no need to mute or unmute! Naturally, you can still call on a child to answer if you prefer! Have fun! Please note that some letters have fewer pictures than others. Each letter has anywhere from two to five pictures.

This keeps the kids actively engaged and it’s tons of fun! You may also wish to have them tell you if the letter is a vowel or a consonant, or tell which letter comes before or after in ABC order, whether the letter is tall or short, etc. 

We recommend that you do some motions with the songs/chants. You can make up your own, or download a written description of our motions from our website here. If you subscribe to our video subscription service, you can also check the motions there, too. (Again, audio is NOT included in this PowerPoint set.)

This product covers the letters from A-Z, and has 26 slide decks included, and each deck has approximately 25-30 slides. We added the Alphabet Action song cards as a bonus, too!

Our original product, the Letter of the Week Focus Wall, is printable and sized to fit on a pocket chart, as in the photo in the previous page. However, this version is designed to be used digitally, (either online, or in person to project it in an extra large format. ) So, although you could print it, each of these PowerPoint slides is probably too large for most pocket charts.

These slides have been redesigned to be more eye catching and “prettier” than our print version, too! However, the basic content is the same. Please note that when you purchase one product, this is only a license for use in one teacher’s class.

You may or may not wish to display every single slide for each letter, depending on your instructional goals. Thankfully, it is very easy to “hide” certain slides in the file. For example, I do not always use the Letter Practice slides at the end each slide deck with my Transitional Kindergartners (TKs) due to their attention span and time constraints, but you may wish to do so. To hide a slide, first select it, then go to the menu. Please note that this product is NOT EDITABLE beyond the ability to skip the slides you do not wish to display.

Again, this set does NOT include the audio files for the songs. If you want this product in the Google Slides format with audio, they are available on Heidi's Teachers Pay Teachers store here.

Zip file includes:

- PowerPoint file for each letter, A-Z: 26 files, with approximately 25-30 slides per letter.

- PDF of Student Clue cards in color and black & white, 53 pages

Anna Akhmatova

Today they didn’t bring me letters ...

Today they didn’t bring me letters:
He forgot to write or left;
Spring is like a trill of silver laughter,
Ships are rocking in the bay.
No letters were brought to me today...

He was with me quite recently,
So loving, affectionate and mine,
But it was a white winter,
Now it’s spring, and the sadness of spring is poisonous,
He was with me quite recently . ..

I hear: a light quivering bow, It beats,
and it is scary to me that my heart will break, I will not add these tender lines ...

Anna Akhmatova

You are my letter, dear, do not crumple . ..

You are my letter, dear, do not crumple,
Until the end, friend, read it to the end.
I'm tired of being a stranger,
Being a stranger on your way.

Don't look like that, don't frown in anger.
I am beloved, I am yours.
Not a shepherdess, not a princess
And I am no longer a nun -

In this gray, everyday dress,
On worn-out heels ...
But, as before, a burning embrace,
The same fear in the huge eyes.

Don't crumple my letter, dear,
Don't cry about the cherished lie,
You put it in your poor knapsack
Put it at the very bottom.
