Welcome students warmly. Introduce today’s focus: the letter W. Show uppercase “W” and lowercase “w” on the board. Briefly explain we’ll sing, hunt, trace, and mold Ws today.

Cue up and play the song from [Letter W Song Audio](#letter-w-song-audio). Model waving your arms in a W shape to the rhythm before inviting children to join.

Display flashcards one at a time from [Letter W Flashcards Set](#letter-w-flashcards-set). Emphasize the /w/ sound. When students hear or see a W word, prompt them to give a “W-wave.”

Hand out the [Letter W Tracing Worksheet](#letter-w-tracing-worksheet) and crayons or markers. Model tracing uppercase W first, then lowercase w. Circulate and offer one-on-one help.

Distribute playdough and W-shaped cookie cutters. Demonstrate pressing the cutter into dough then free-forming Ws. Encourage each child to say a W-word as they create.

Gather students back on the rug. Ask volunteers to name W-words and show the letter W with their arms. Praise everyone’s effort and celebrate what they’ve learned.
