Hey there, friend! Today, we’re going to have fun learning about the letter E. Are you ready? Let’s go!
There are two kinds of the letter E. We have Big E and Small E. Can you say “Big E”? Now, say “Small E.” Great job!
Did you know that elephants have big ears? Yes, they do! And guess what? The word “elephant” starts with the letter E. Isn’t that cool?
Let’s sing a fun song about the letter E:
“Big E, Small E, hooray for E! The elephant has big ears! E, E, E! Big E, Small E, hooray for E! The elephant has big ears! E, E!”
Can you think of other words that start with E? How about “egg” or “engine”? Let’s say them together: egg, engine. Awesome!
Now, let’s practice writing the letter E. You can use your finger to draw a Big E in the air. Start at the top and draw a straight line down. Then, add three lines across. Great! Now, try a Small E. Start in the middle and make a little loop. Fantastic!
Keep looking for the letter E around you. Maybe you’ll see it in a book or on a sign. Have fun finding E everywhere!
Thanks for learning with me today. Remember, E is for elephant, and you did an excellent job!
Letter E Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom to find objects that start with the letter E. Can you find an egg, an envelope, or maybe even an eraser? Make a list or draw pictures of the items you find. Share your discoveries with a friend or family member!
Elephant Ears Craft: Create your own elephant ears using paper plates or construction paper. Cut out large ear shapes and decorate them with crayons or markers. Once you’re done, wear your elephant ears and pretend to be an elephant. Can you make elephant sounds? What other animals can you think of that start with the letter E?
Story Time with E: Choose a book that has lots of words starting with the letter E. As you read, listen carefully for words that start with E and raise your hand or clap each time you hear one. After reading, try to remember and list all the E words you heard. How many did you find?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
