Letter Uu… you are so tricky for my little learners.
My kids always think you make the /y/ sound.
and therefore meaningful.
When you teach 5 year old, you got to get down and dirty sometimes.}
in a fun and silly way, which encourages kids to do the same.
since that is something many of them can’t connect to since they don’t see it.
It also made a cute undie display.
And I discovered a NEW fun Undie book…
U is for Underwear.
This sweet illustrator sent me this book last year after reading this initial post
for me to use in my classroom.
And I was thrilled to read it to my class this year.
They adored it.
we did a ton of meaningful activities with the letter Uu…
Here are some of them.
This activity is a letter U find.
My students LOVE these sheets.
We always do them on Monday.
This gives me a great indicator of who can recognize the Letter U.
We also played this FUN math umbrella game for building number sense.
A huge hit was this ten frame sheet.
We used paint to make the “raindrops” in the ten frames.
Was it slightly messy.
Yep… but kindergarten IS slightly a lot messy.
Here is what the basket look like.
I provided them baby wipes, a paint cup, and q-tips.
This was their set up.
We added rain drops initial sound cards to this chart for some extra phonics practice.
And what about building words?
Check out this Nutty Words activity.
We use the u pictures to guide our writing.
Fun!
All of these activities for the Letter Uu {Print & Play Pack.} are in my bundle.

Such a fun way to teach the letter u! It will definitely help the kids to remember the u sound with underwear! We love Aliens Love Underpants too. They just giggle and laugh. They are not sure if it is appropriate to laugh at or not! Then they just bust out! 🙂

I bought 2 new underwear books in the Christmas sales – Pirates Love Underpants, and Aliens Love Underpants with special effects sound buttons! I can't wait to use them with my class. 🙂

Another cute book is " What Color is Your Underwear?" This book is a lift the flap and the undies are hidden underneath! One of the favorites in my class!
I also like the book "Underwear" Jungle animals wear underwear in many different ways, except a grumpy buffalo. The others challenge him to say underwear five times without laughing. He of course can't do it.
I would love to get a copy of your undie writing page. I found some underwear clipart, but not as cute as yours 🙂
