My goal is to help her feel special with her own abilities. I will begin to communicate more by asking her to be the “line leader” who also prays for lunchtime and dismissal. I won’t push her if I see that she doesn’t feel comfortable.

2. Early Reading
Activity: Walking on letters.
Materials: we will use some cards that are laminated with one side the letter and the other side a picture. I will play the song from chicka Chicka Boom Boom as part of the music background.
