Literacy tip of the week:
The holidays can present a lot of fun literacy opportunities. For instance, you can have your child make holiday cards to practice drawing and writing skills. You could also involve your child as you cook or bake. Pointing out words in recipes and matching them to labels on the ingredients is a great way to develop their knowledge of print.
Craft:
We colored turkeys :)
