State the Objective
Tell the children that they will make an omelet for an octopus as they recognize and name the letters O and o.

Literacy Activities
Make an O omelet 

• Place letter cards (see below) inside plastic Easter eggs or attach letter cards to the backs of egg cards (see below).
• Write and name the letters O and o and point out that size is the only difference between the two.

• Tell the children that they will make an odd omelet with Os, not eggs. 

   

• Explain that odd means strange, and an omelet is a breakfast food made of eggs.

   

• Open a plastic egg or turn over an egg card and point out that instead of egg yolks, the eggs have letters inside them.
• Have the children take turns pretending to open the pretend eggs.
• If the letter in the egg is an O or o, have the child drop it into the frying pan.
• Have the children take turns stirring the omelet in a large O shape.
• Let the children pretend to serve the omelet, saying, "Here is an O omelet!"

Find the letter O 

• Help the children find and circle the Os on the letter-finding page (see below).

Write the letter O 

• Have the children write the uppercase letter O and lowercase o on small pieces of paper, reminding them that size is the only difference between the two.
• Have the children add their handwritten letters to the odd omelet.
