All right, let's move on to our letter of the week. Every letter makes a sound and H. H says, letter H. H is the letter of the week. Did you remember? I'm sure you did.

Oh, great, so many things start with letter H. You keep on looking around your home for more things that start with letter H. Okay, let's put H on the board, here we go. Now, let's practice tracing the letter H in the air. If you look at our H, remember it has two lines down and one line across. Let's try it in the air, pointer fingers up. Okay, let's start at the top. Pointer fingers in the air, here we go. Go down, stop, go back to the top and move over. Go down, stop, now let's go to the middle and go across. Great, one more time.

Let's put the heart on the board, the heart. And can you remember that fruit that sometimes looks like a heart? It reminds me of a heart, the strawberry. Sometimes strawberries look like hearts. And can you try and make a heart using your fingers? Let's see if we can do it. Let's put our hands up straight. Okay, your palms, these are called your palms, face them in and now we're gonna slowly close our fingers just a little bit, curl them, bring them together and touch our thumbs, a heart. Yes, that's a heart, beautiful. And tomorrow we will practice drawing the heart, okay? We'll practice drawing the heart tomorrow. Now let's keep on going. Move on down to the number of the week.
