Pre-K:

I used The Berenstain's A Book by Stan and Jan Berenstain to talk about the letter A. I created one page on the smartboard with a cartoon ant and an "A." I linked the A to a BBC video on ants from Discovery Education. Then I linked the ant to "The Ants Go Marching" song at Discovery Education. We sang it twice.
