Song of the month: Gobble, Gobble (The Thanksgiving Song)
Book of the month: Yummy, Yucky by Leslie Patricelli
This month we are talking about the sound of the letter T. The children have loved practicing letter and sound recognition, tracing the letter, and discovering who has the letter T at the start of their name.
The song for the month of November is Gobble, Gobble (The Thanksgiving Song) by Nooshi. You can find it on iTunes. This song includes some of the traditional Thanksgiving foods and traditions, so it has been great to talk about what foods are yummy.
The letter T rhyme for tracing: "Top to bottom. Back to the top. Left to right and now we STOP!"
Our book of the month, Yummy Yucky, is a great book to reinforce what is good food, and what we don't eat. Spaghetti is yummy. Dirt is yucky. The children love this book and I'm excited to present it to the class this year. This is also a great way to introduce new or different foods at Thanksgiving. Talk about what is yummy. I'll blog more of this activity the week of Thanksgiving.
