Name Recognition

Hooray for Autumn!  The rain has returned, but it is still comfortable enough temperature wise for me to keep the doors open for fresh air.  It's one of the first things I do in the early morning.  Open the door to air the house out. It not only feels refreshing, but the air is not stale, and it helps keep germs at bay. 
We are working on recognizing our names!  This helps them to find their cup at snack and meal time, too.  I label the cups every morning with each child's name so they use only that cup all day.   They see their names displayed on cubbies.  We have cards that we get out at group time and when a child sees his or her name, the hand raises at lightning speed and we spell it together.  The goal for me is to have them all writing their name by the time they enroll in kindergarten.  You will probably find a similar blog post year after year about the things we are learning.  These implementations are effective!
This project was a simple one.  They just worked to color the shapes using different colors of oil pastels.
Concentration tongue!
This can be a large job, and no matter how far along the kids got, the art was bold and beautiful.
They were all able to recognize their name on the art wall!
Meanwhile, Smudge followed me around while placing corn stalks along the front walkway.  I need pumpkins to complete the look.
The front flower garden is kind of a wild mess right now!  The mammoth sunflower is hanging it's heavy seed laden head down onto the railing.  
♥♥♥Happy Wednesday!♥♥♥
