http://www.teachers.cr.k12.de.us/~galgano/1linkstemp.htm The author of each spreadsheet on this site is unknown, but all the spreadsheets are used by the Caesar Rodney School District (which I also couldn't figure out where it is located). This lesson helps students with initial sounds in spoken language. They arrange the objects into the correct boxes that indicate the initial sound of the name of the animal. Example: Dog would go in the D box for the /d/. The students would be learning about initial sounds in spoken language and could also be learning about these animals in science. This could also be changed up a bit to adapt to many cross-curricular concepts. For example: Math-put numbers instead of objects and the student would arrange the numbers with the appropriate initial sound. 2 would be put in the T box for the /t/.
I love this spreadsheet and activity mainly because it is, and would be, so easy to use as a cross-curricular activity. It could be changed up to meet the curricular focus of the teacher. For example, if the class is studing about native americans, they could put the different native american tribes as the objects and match them to their initial sound. I.E. Commanche would be placed in the C box for the /c/.
