We must have read it 3x a day, no joke. I think I have it memorized... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teaching-abcs#post-2037448 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 11:47:09 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2037448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: I actually played the Big Brown Bear (not free anymore) during a staff meeting with my principal's face! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teaching-abcs#post-2037445 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 11:46:11 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2037445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: Oh yes. D knows the difference between the "yellow one" and the "Christmas" and "Halloween" ones and he can find it on my phone. : )</p> <p>@rachiecakes: I didn't know about the song! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teaching-abcs#post-2037430 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 11:40:11 +0000 mrsjazz 2037430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We taught both together. Big A, little a. There's the Dr. Seuss ABCs book that helped us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teaching-abcs#post-2037428 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 11:39:39 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2037428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard from two different educators to teach lowercase first... But it just kind of happened that he has been learning both. He can recognize over 50% of the alphabet in both upper and lowercase. He learned a lot of his letters and sounds from endless alphabet, and I think they use both lower and uppercase. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teaching-abcs#post-2037409 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 11:30:14 +0000 pinkcupcake 2037409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did, when she started showing an interest in the alphabet at around 20 months. I just told her one is the Big A, the other Baby a. She didn't seem to have any confusion or problem distinguishing between them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teaching-abcs#post-2037390 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 11:18:38 +0000 swurlygurl 2037390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: @Mrs Green Grass: Did you know there's a StoryBots app (FREE!)?! L is stupid obsessed with them, and I sing the songs at work all day :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teaching-abcs#post-2037319 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 10:46:57 +0000 bpcmarj 2037319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She only knows uppercase as of now, but there is a show on Netflix she likes which teaches many different things. Uppercase, lowercase, and letter sounds. It is called "leapfrog phonics farm". It is pretty cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teaching-abcs#post-2037318 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 10:46:46 +0000 rachiecakes 2037318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chicka Chicka Boom Boom - my son became obsessed with this book when he started preschool at 2.9yrs old. He can write and read upper and lowercase and I swear it's from that book. There's a song, too. (I had to google it when he started singing the words in the car on the ride home, I had no idea what he was talking about, haha - tons of YouTube videos with the song) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teaching-abcs#post-2037303 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 10:41:13 +0000 .twist. 2037303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: haha I can see how that would be enticing. So far, none of them know about those ones yet! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teaching-abcs#post-2037293 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 10:36:58 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2037293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: My LO loves Storybots! But for now he will only watch the ones with his face... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teaching-abcs#post-2037268 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 10:27:41 +0000 .twist. 2037268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am no expert, but we do teach both together. </p> <p>I found some really great videos on youtube from "storybots". They do a little song for each letter of the alphabet and they use both upper and lower case. All 3 of our boys have enjoyed watching the videos! Personally, I think they're cute too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teaching-abcs#post-2037248 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 10:21:03 +0000 looch 2037248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're supposed to, according to my mom (retired kindergarten aide). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teaching-abcs#post-2037245 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 10:19:43 +0000 regberadaisy 2037245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When you started teaching ABCs did you distinguish between upper and lower case right away? </p> <p>Hoping there are some kinder teachers amongst us!<br /> Mrs cowgirl?! </p>
