La lectura
This week we had a lot of fun reading Un día una señora se tragó unas hojas. This was a great story to learn about fall vocabulary while listening for rhyme.
Our weekly objectives were to:
- identify rhyme in stories
- match rhyming cards
- identify initial sounds
- sort pictures based on their initial sound (O vs. I)

We have been doing an ABC sound chart each morning. Here is a link to a video of our sound chart:
