Outstanding October

We finished learning the names of all letters in the alphabet! Now we are learning about the sound(s) each letter makes. Students are making connections between letters and sounds by pointing to the print as we read. They are listening for the beginning sounds of words in the books we read together. This month, we shared the stories Room on the Broom and There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves. We had fun listening to the rhyming words and retelling each story.
