Name Train - Learning the Letters That Make Up Our Name
During All about me week, we learn about the letters that make up our name.
I precut the engine train car (with my Cricut at home) and enough colorful rectangles for each child’s name. We use sentence strips for the backing of our name trains.
Each child sits down with the teacher and we count out how many train cars they will need to make their name. The teacher then writes the letters as we say them together. This is done in my 3’s class on the second week of school, so most of the children are just learning the first letter of their name while some know all of the letters. We are also learning how to use the classroom materials. We take this opportunity to show the children how to use the glue stick and how much glue is just right. The children love taking their name trains home to hang up for their family to see!
