October is here and so begins my favorite time of the year!  There are so many fun fall & holiday activities we planned coming round the bend, so stay posted for them all!

We will be talking about the Fall season and the changes it brings - cooler weather, shorter days, sweaters, apples, pumpkins, acorns, colorful leaves & HALLOWEEN!  As we engage in learning all about this fun season, we will practice how to extend simple patterns, how to count up to 10 objects, and following multi-step directions.  We will also be learning some seasonal rhymes as we learn how to pick out rhyming pairs - "Star Light, Star Bright," "Five Little Pumpkins," "Five Little Ducks," "Fall the Leaves" - just to name a few!  

We continue to work on writing our names each day.  We also are looking at each of the letters of the alphabet - how to write it, what it is called & what sound it makes.

How can you help your child?  Read every day!  Practice saying the letters of their name!  And talk about letters you see all around!
