I explained that from Monday until Valentine's Day, it is the 100 Acts of Kindness project. I asked the children what it means to be kind. I encouraged them to do many kind things for others. We talked about ways to be kind. I gave the parents the idea of setting up a kindness tree at home.
Held up K and k
Talked about sound of Kk
Talked about things that start with k
Make a lowercase k in the air
Put the alphabet chart on the floor. Let each child take the pointer and point to the letter Kk.

Craft Time:
I modeled the rainbow writing page for letter Kk, the Kk dot page, and the craft before the children starting working on them. Before starting the craft, the children write the given letter using 3 different colors of crayons. I have attached a link to the free rainbow writing letters I used. Completing the dot page is optional.
You can find free rainbow writing letters here. Since they are free, they lack a dot for where to start. print one off, add the dots with a black marker, and then make copies of that one. You can find the dot pages here.
Click here for a link for letter formation prompts for capital and lowercase letters. Children need to spend more time working on the lowercase letters than on the capital letters.
