This week we are beginning to wrap up our Fall unit. 

Students have also begun learning a new song. We will keep learning our "Five Little Pumpkins" song until Halloween. There are many skills the kids can practice using this poem: they can practice counting and using their own fingers,  making connections between text and pictures as well as practicing pre-reading skills such as tracking text with their index finger, following text from left to right and top to bottom, as well ass using oral language and exploring dramatic play. 

The song will be placed in their "Songs and Poems Book" and will come home next week. 

In the meantime you can help them practice by clicking the link above.
