Phonemic Awareness for Little Learners (Set 1)
These activities are meant to strengthen alphabetic awareness, identifying beginning sounds, producing rhyming words and hearing and counting syllables. There are notes at the top of each week to help you lead the students through the activity.
*Note: The reason "Q" has a "U" with it is to teach that Q can't go anywhere without a "U". So when talking about the letter Q and doing letters and sounds, Say "QU", Queen, /qu/-wah. We don't want students to say "uh" at the end of most of their sounds

Importance of learning science
Learning science is particularly important for students as it equips them with the essential knowledge and skills to make sense of the world around them. Science education is not just about memorizing facts. It fosters critical thinking, inquiry, and problem-solving abilities. These skills are not only useful in school but also in everyday life beyond the classroom.
Benefits of learning science
Learning science offers many benefits to students both in school and beyond. In fact, it helps students:
- Question the world around them and seek evidence-based explanations
- Cultivate their ability to observe, experiment, and analyze data
- Nurture a sense of curiosity, awe, and wonder about the natural world
- Understand natural phenomena and the laws that govern the universe
With a solid foundation in science, teachers can help empower students to think critically, solve problems, make informed decisions, and engage with the world around them in meaningful ways.
Teaching with science resources
One of the best parts about science class is all of the possibilities for hands-on, collaborative learning! Think: labs, experiments, inquiry-based activities, and design challenges. These activities encourage students to explore scientific concepts by observing, asking questions, and conducting investigations. Additionally, with small group centers, students can engage in group experiments, discussions, and projects that require them to collaborate, share ideas, and solve problems together.
