During our Desert City week, we learned about three different cities: Moab, Sedona, and Taos.

To fulfill the Language/Literacy domain, we used toothpicks and play dough to spell the different city names.

We love using writing trays because they help us write without picking up a pencil!

This eliminates the frustration that often accompanies using writing implements.

For this activity, students were encouraged to spell one of three words.

This word was etched into play dough.

Students were then directed to place toothpicks into each letter.

Lastly, your little ones were encouraged to sound out each letter in each word!
