Extension Activities:

- Make a collage of items that start with the letter C.  Let your child cut out pictures from a magazine or draw items that start with the letter C and arrange on a piece of paper to make a collage.  Don't worry if they pick items that start with the letter K.  Both letters can have the same sound.  Simply mention it and move on to the next item.

- As "clock" starts with the letter C, this is a great time to explain what a clock looks like and the basics of telling time.
