Introduce the letter "M." Explain that today's topic

take turns pointing out "M" objects (or people) in
the room. Ask children to make the "m" sound.
Have them do it for a few seconds. Tell them to
stop, then ask them what making the "m" sound

them to place their fingertips on their lips as they
make the sound. Can they feel the vibration as
they make the sound?
