An All American Summer Unit: The United States of America


Cursive Letter Sand Tray


Cursive Letter Sand Tray Activity for Kids


We're starting our study of cursive. The kiddos are okay with their letter identification, so we're moving on to sand tray writing, practicing four letters each month.  


It's amazing to me how much easier cursive is for the kiddos, compared to when they were learning print.

United States of America First Letter Identification


United States of America First Letter Identification (Free Printable)


I am super excited about these cards.  The kiddos have known the names of the 50 States for quite some time.  We learned them as part of a song.  


I thought it would be fun for them to start to identify the shapes of each state, and practice their beginning letter sounds at the same time.  


Control cards are provided in case they don't remember the name of the state and can't think of the first letter sound.


United States of America Nomenclature Cards (Free Printable)


The cards are not designed in the Montessori colors, as I was unable to find black and white outlines, however, I still think they will work in teaching the shapes of the states.

The first letter sound cards match the state cards, in order to provide the proper controls.  All states are included in the printable.
