teaching a 1st grade lesson.. breaking down words

I'm in methods right now and I'm teaching my 1st lesson next week. The teacher gave me the broad points to cover, and it seems as thoguh I'm doing something very similar to our class last week. Given 2 larger compound words (one letter per card pushed together to form these words) the students one by one will see how many words they can make with those letters. I was surprised to be doing it in a 1st grade class, but that's "higher level thinking" I suppose!?!?

my daughter is in first grade and has been doing similar work for a while now. The curriculum in our schools sure has advanced since my days in elementary school
