Wet Noodles (Spaghetti Spelling)

 OLIVIA

Food. Letters. Poetry.
O was in love.
We set up some wet noodles, thanks to our spaghetti lunch offering inspiration.
'Wet Noodles' were a favourite activity of my ESL students, because you're permitted to play with your food and the learning bit is disguised as fun.

We started out with words O feels confident with; her name and "C. A. T."

Then I asked her to spell "MOM" which came out as "WOW!"
Even better!

She delved in some artwork titled, "The Pie" and snuck in a pose as the shutter released!

She even presented me with Chinese characters.
Three lines, is in fact the number three!

We worked on more letters with an impromptu poem.
O thrives with poetry, so she was 100% game.
"Can you spell the letter "L"?"
"Now, let's see the letter 'C' ('B'. 'T', 'D', 'E')?"
"Would you try the letter 'I' ('Y')?"
"Does anyone know the letter 'O'?"

Baby C caught wind of the game and saddled up to the chalkboard wall, attempting to fully participate in letter work.
Complete with her name tag stuck to her back from the mornings music classes!
