Preschool Days

Our Next Unit

Hope everyone had a relaxing, family filled, Thanksgiving holiday break!  Our next story is The Napping House, by Audrey Wood.  This story not only has the repetition of language, yet beautiful illustrations that will provide visual cues for the boys when asked questions about the story. 

Some of the key vocabulary in this story is familiar to the boys and provides another opportunity to generalize words and themes that they have already learned this school year!  It lends itself to lessons about day vs. night, weather, a review of some animal signs, some new vocabulary, and continued work on verbs and prepositions.

I'm hopeful that you'll take a few minutes to read to the boys, either this book or related literature.  Some suggestions are;

Goodnight Moon

Goodnight Owl

When I'm Sleepy

Happy Birthday Moon

Mooncake

How Many Feet in the Bed

Know that I'm looking forward to another few weeks with your little people!  I am truely thankful for them - each and every day!

Take care-

November 12-20th

We're off to a good fall season!  The boys are adjusting to the new "coat routine", the tissues coming at their noses, and the increased handwashing!  As the weather gets colder, we'll have more and more "functional opportunities" to work on dressing skills, so we should see great strides in that area too!!!

The boys continue to "Wow" us daily with all of their new abilities...whether it's a new word or sign, a whole sentence, a spontaneous request, or just following a new routine...they are all doing great things!!!

Our next thematic unit is a "thanksgiving-ish" story that I can't wait to share with the boys!!!  We'll be reading,   I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie, by Alison Jackson. The key vocabulary of this book is food -

pie          squash       pot         cider        Thanksgiving

salad       cake          dry          roll          bread

turkey      eat           swallow    old lady      

It is an interactive story that is sure to engage them!

Hope you have a great week!
