9/6 Classroom Update

This week, we read the classic story Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and focused on our names! In 3's, we worked on recognizing our names and naming the first letter of our names. In 5's, we are working on writing and building our names, as well as letter recognition in our own and friends' names.  Here are some picture highlights from the week:
