Popcorn: Brought to You by the Letter ‘P’

Popcorn: Brought to You by the Letter ‘P’ and

the Pre-K Students at Covert Avenue School

How do you teach a three-year old the alphabet? Ask Tricia Cammaroto, a pre-K teacher at Covert Avenue School, who had things popping as her morning and afternoon students used popcorn to learn about the letter “P.” Cammaroto created this special project to teach students the sound of “P,” focus on common words starting with the letter, and encourage students to come up with adjectives to describe the popcorn. This project reinforced the district’s English language arts objectives, and encouraged students’ creativity through artwork. The young learners also took time out to enjoy the snack!
