November is flying by! One thing we have been focusing on is recognizing our names, this is a very important skill and is something you can be working on at home if your child doesn't know recognize their name yet (show 3 names and have your child recognize. To make it harder, show 2 names that start with the same letter and the third name with a different letter). We have also been practicing on tracing our names and will start tracing and writing our names next week.
Our rhyming house has been the bug house with the words "bug, mug, jug, hug, plug, rug."
We are still working on characters and setting. We have started working some on sequencing events in a story, but this is a harder concept.
Thank you to all who have donated loose change for our classroom to buy books. The students that brought loose change enjoyed putting it in our change jar!
