We read lots of fun stories in December.  Our favorites included:  "Take a Mouse to a Movie" and "Too Many Toys for Christmas." 


Attributes are very important descriptive words for children.  We work on using the attributes of color, shape/size and function to get the children to "tell us about" certain objects.  By the time a child goes to Kindergarten, our goal is for a child to use two different attributes to describe objects or pictures of objects. 


Happy Holidays!
