C makes different sounds

C is a difficult letter.  Have you ever thought about it’s different sounds?  There’s C that sound like K for Cairn.  There’s C that sound like S for Cerise.  Then throw in an h and it starts sounding like a Choo-Choo train. 
Wendy took this subject and I spent most of my time in the back with the babies so I can’t tell you how she taught it, but I can show you the maze she drew up for the kids to get the cat (k sound) to the circus (s sound):

She also had the kids make Halloween crafts (k sound): we painted egg carton humps black and stuck in pipe cleaner eggs to make spiders.

Cerise made one too, but had to occupy herself until one of the big kids finished and let her take the seat at the table:

I don’t know how she hasn’t fallen and cracked open her head with all the climbing she does!
Oh! And I can’t leave out the Ch activity!  The kids went outside to gather CHicken eggs to make CHocolate cupcakes.  While they waited for the cupcakes to bake they finished up some Halloween cards they started the other day: Paint a white foot on black paper, turn it upside down and its a ghost!  Very cute… sorry I don’t have a picture though!
