We had a birthday this week in our class. Happy Birthday Amelia! The children have been working on the sounds of all letters with the main focus being on d and e this week. We have been continuing our work on rhyme and isolating the beginning sound of words. We are slowly getting ourselves in the Halloween spirit by learning some new poems, reading books and doing crafts. While patterning is still our main focus in math, we have also started developing number sense through various counting activities. In You and Your World, we have been spending time talking about what makes each of us unique and special, making self-portraits, and also talking about our feelings and ways to express them appropriately.
