Description

What our Alphabet: Letter V lesson plan includes

Lesson Objectives and Overview: Alphabet: Letter V teaches young learners about the twenty-second letter of the alphabet. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to recognize the uppercase and lowercase letter V and name at least two words that begin with W. This lesson is for students in preschool.

VEGETABLE STAMP ACTIVITY

For the activity, Provide students with the large V outline. Tell them that they will be using vegetables to make stamps on their paper, particularly a celery stick. Demonstrate how to dip the end of the celery stick in paint and stamp it on the large letter V paper. Pass out paint and celery sticks. Have students stamp their paper with the celery sticks by dipping one end in paint. (Optional: Give students other vegetables to stamp on their paper. Cut corn into 2–3 inch pieces and have students roll the corn on the paper. Cut a potato in half or cut the top of broccoli into smaller florets. Trim off the ends of baby carrots to stamp, or pick your favorite vegetable.) Let dry and display.

Options and Extensions

There are a few fun additional options you could add to the lesson. Bring in vegetables to try. Students can make a pretend volcano by mixing baking soda and vinegar. Using a grocery store paper bag, cut out a place for the neck and arms and make a vest. Let students decorate it with the letter V and V words. Have a letter V fashion show. Tape large letter V’s to the ground and let students vacuum along the tape with a toy vacuum.

As an extension to the lesson, read Goodnight, Veggies by Diana Murray and Zachariah Ohora, The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, and Growing Vegetable Soup by Lois Ehlert.

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

Our preschool lessons include additional resources that you can use throughout the lesson. They are provided to give you as much content as possible to complete the lesson without having to find sources on their own. For instance, if the lesson requires you to show students pictures, you can use the ones in the additional resources.

Preschool Philosophy

Our preschool curriculum is thoughtfully designed by professional teachers to nurture curiosity, build foundational skills, and prepare young learners for kindergarten and beyond. Each preschool lesson plan offers age-appropriate activities to promote early literacy, math readiness, creativity, and social-emotional growth.

At the preschool level, children are developing rapidly—socially, emotionally, physically, and academically. The goal of our lesson plans for preschool is to provide structured yet engaging learning experiences that spark imagination, encourage problem-solving, and foster a lifelong love of learning.

CURRICULUM FOCUS

Our curriculum focuses on key objectives such as:

• Building early literacy and language skills through stories, songs, and interactive activities.
• Developing number sense, shapes, colors, and patterns with hands-on lessons.
• Encouraging creativity and self-expression through art, play, and music.
• Supporting social-emotional development, cooperation, and confidence.
• Strengthening fine and gross motor skills through active learning.
