A New Spin on a Classic
"My Name is Professor Poplar, and this is my patented Amazing Alph-Abacus! Wait 'til you see what I've done with the traditional abacus, I've truly outdone myself this time with this wonderous, wooden toy. I've painted each wooden letter in jewel-tone colors and packed them with numbers, letters, and objects on their sides. With one flip of a tile, you'll find many learning opportunities. It is quite the sight to see!"
5 Enrichment Activities:
1. Flip over the number tiles and count up the shapes! Can you name the shapes? How many sides does each one have?
2. Point to a letter, then practice the sound it makes. Is it an Ahh, or a Buh? If you get it right, give it a spin!
3. Flip a letter over to reveal its object. Can you find the letter in its word? What does the object do? Does it make a sound?
4. Pick an object and look at its word. Can you sound out the word?
5. Flip every other number tile.
