Extension Activities:
-Discuss with students what they think looks like a shape. For example, a ball looks like the letter ‘o’. After discussing items with the students, provide them with paper and markers and let them draw their own alphabet book. Have them try to think of things they see on their way home from school and draw a picture for each letter of the alphabet.
