In today’s lesson, we explored the letters M and N, learning how to pronounce and write both uppercase and lowercase forms. We identified words that start with each letter, such as “motorbike” for M and “nose” for N, and engaged in fun activities like counting and singing to reinforce our learning. Overall, it was a delightful introduction to these two letters, encouraging continued exploration of the alphabet.
  1. What does the letter M look like when we write it?
  2. Can you think of a word that starts with the letter N?
  3. How do you feel when you sing and dance with the letters M and N?

Let’s Learn About the Letters M and N!

Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to have fun learning about two special letters: M and N. Are you ready? Let’s go!

The Marvelous Letter M

First, let’s meet the letter M. Can you say “M”? Great job! Now, let’s try writing it. We start at the bottom, go straight up, then down to the middle, back up, and down again. It looks like a hammock! Can you see it?

Now, let’s try the small letter m. Start at the bottom, go up, then down, up again, and down. It looks like little hills. Isn’t that magical?

Let’s think of some words that start with M. How about “motorbike”? Or “mountain”? And don’t forget “monster”! Can you say those words?

Let’s count the M’s in the word “mummy.” One, two, three! Well done!

The Nice Letter N

Now, let’s learn about the letter N. Can you say “N”? Awesome! Let’s write it. Start at the bottom, go up, then down diagonally, and up again. It looks like a bookshelf!

For the small letter n, start at the bottom, go up, then down, and make a little curve. It looks like a turtle shell!

What words start with N? Let’s see. “Nose” starts with N. Can you wiggle your nose? “Nine” also starts with N. Let’s count: seven, eight, nine, ten!

And how about “ninja”? That’s right, it starts with N too! And don’t forget “November.” Brr, it’s getting chilly!

Sing and Dance with M and N

Now, let’s have some fun with a song! Sing along and dance with the letters M and N. It’s a great way to remember them!

You’ve done an amazing job learning about M and N today. There are so many more letters to explore, so keep learning and having fun!

See you next time, and keep smiling!

  • Can you think of something in your house or outside that starts with the letter M or N? What is it, and why do you like it?
  • Imagine you are going on an adventure. Would you rather ride a motorbike or be a ninja? Why did you choose that?
  • Can you make up a funny story using words that start with M and N? Share your story with your family or friends!
  1. Letter Hunt: Go on a letter hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the letters M and N. Can you find a mug or a napkin? Make a list or draw pictures of the items you find. Share your discoveries with your friends or family!

  2. Craft Time: Create your own M and N letters using craft materials. Use playdough, pipe cleaners, or cut-out paper shapes to form the letters. Once you’ve made your letters, decorate them with stickers or drawings of things that start with M and N, like a mountain or a nose.

  3. Story Time: Make up a short story using as many M and N words as you can. For example, “The monster went to the mountain to meet a ninja.” Draw pictures to go along with your story and share it with the class or your family. How many M and N words can you include?

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

Good morning, everyone! Today I’m going to present the letter M.

[Applause]

My name is Emi, and I’m here to tell you a little bit about me. Let’s learn how to pronounce “me.” Okay, repeat after me—maybe a bit louder!

[Music]

Magnificent!

Let’s try to write “M.” We start down here and make a straight line up. Now we come down to the middle, up again, and back down. Good job! It looks like a hammock.

The lowercase “m” is very similar. Let’s try! We start here and go down, then back up on the same line, turn to the right, down, and stop. Up and down again. Can you see some hills?

Magical!

[Applause]

Now let’s see some words that start with “M.”

Motorbike starts with an “M.”

Let’s try and write “N.” It’s easy!

We start here and draw a straight line upwards. Now up here, we go down again but diagonally over here. Now we just make another straight line up. Nice!

I look like a bookshelf!

[Music]

Let’s try lowercase. We start here and go down here, then we go back on the same line and curve to the right and down again. Right at the end, we make a little curve up, and done! That’s professional writing right there!

Now I look like a turtle. Try at home with pen and paper; it’s super easy!

[Applause]

Now let’s look at the words that start with “N.”

The first letter in the word “nose” is “N.” Let’s sniff around with our nose!
