By connecting a letter to the theme, students will have a meaningful way to remember the letter they are learning. The activities can be stretched to use over 2 weeks if needed, as many of the activities are reusable.

There is a mixture of no prep and low prep activities on a variety of skills and subjects. This allows teachers to be flexible and use only the activities that the teacher desires to complete. The activities in this packet can be completed in any order.
