Welcome back to the Kinder Club blog! Each week we will focus on a letter of the alphabet and share fun stories, activities and tips to help reinforce a variety of kindergarten readiness skills.

This week’s letter is Vv!

V is for vase, violin and volcano!

Can you trace the letter in the picture above with your finger? Can you write the letter on a piece of paper? Try writing the letter in uppercase and lowercase. Remember uppercase is BIG and lowercase is small.  

Trombones, flutes and VIOLINS take center stage in this week’s story. Click on the video below to listen to Mrs. K. share a counting AND rhyming story about musical instruments. Can you name some of the instruments from our story? How many VIOLINS were in our story? Do you remember the noise the VIOLIN made?

Thank you to Simon & Schuster Publishers for allowing us to share this story with you.

Mrs. K. went searching for things that start with the letter V. Look at the pictures below to see what she found. Which item in the picture was from our story? Now it’s your turn! What can you find that starts with the letter V?

If you picked up a Letter of the Week packet from the library, have fun completing this week’s activities and stay tuned for next week’s letter. 

Kindergarten Readiness Tip: V is for variety! To do well in school, you need to practice a variety of skills including cutting, writing, counting, letter, color and shape recognition, quiet listening and getting dressed. Take a few minutes each day this week to practice these skills.
