Overview
The children will fly on a magic carpet to put the letter C in the clouds as they recognize and name the uppercase C and the lowercase c. 

Literacy Activities
Fly a magic carpet to the clouds 

• Write the uppercase letter C and lowercase letter c on a whiteboard, and name the letters.
• Invite the children to sit on a rug, carpet, or designated area and pretend it is a magic carpet.
• Hold up the cloud graphic with a C letter card attached to it.
• Ask the children which letter they see in the cloud, then have the children say the letter C and practice writing it in the air with their finger.
• Have the children choose and identify letter cards from a cup or container, supporting as needed.
  • If the letter is a C or a c, have the children pretend to fly on a magic carpet up to the cloud and attach the letter to the cloud. 
  • If the letter is not a C or a c, place the letter in a discard pile. 
• Count how many C letter cards are on the cloud once the cup or container is empty. 

More Practice
