Popcorn: Brought to You by the Letter ‘P’
Popcorn: Brought to
You by the Letter ‘P’ and
the Pre-K Students
at Covert Avenue School
How do you teach a three-year old the alphabet?
Ask Tricia Cammaroto, a pre-K teacher at Covert Avenue School, who had
things popping as her morning and afternoon students used popcorn to
learn about the letter “P.” Cammaroto created this special project to
teach students the sound of “P,” focus on common words starting with
the letter, and encourage students to come up with adjectives to
describe the popcorn. This project reinforced the district’s English
language arts objectives, and encouraged students’ creativity through
artwork. The young learners also took time out to enjoy the snack!

creating art projects centered on popcorn and the letter “P.”

pre-kindergarten students show off their “sweet,” “crunchy” and
“yummy” popcorn projects as they learn about the letter “P” and
increase their vocabulary with new descriptive words.
