Hello, 

My name is Cassidy and I am volunteering at Fun Family Phonics.

Yesterday, I observed 3 classes. The children had tons of fun playing phonics games and singing songs. 

During K's class we played a bucket game. He brought an item that started with the letter "D". Mrs. Clausen and I tried to guess what it was. It was dirt, tada. 

Then, K was showing some difficulty determining the difference between the letter "b" and the letter "d" so he made a bed using the two lowercase letters (and drew his dad sleeping in it). 

Soon after, Mrs Clausen made two categories, "c" or "d" and K put each of the fun items(ex. car, dinosaur) into either category. He did very well and showed that he understood the sounds of the different letters. 

Next, we played a memory game. Mrs. Clausen and K each took turns covering items that started with the letter "c" and the other then had to guess what they had taken.

Lastly, K played with cars and when he hit a letter he had to match it with the uppercase letters. He was very good at this and matched them all correctly.

All in all, it was a great few classes and the students enjoyed the stimulating and interactive games.
