October Words of the Month

Our core vocabulary words for the month of October are the words "in" and "on".  

 We will be doing some Large Group activities that focus on these words, as well as concentrating on intentionally providing many opportunities for students use of these words in class.  

You can use both of these words at home when making requests or comments.  When you are playing you can emphasize the word "in" by putting things "in" containers, "in" a castle, "in" a dollhouse or "in" a truck.  You can emphasize the word "on" in play by stacking blocks "on" top or putting a toy doll's clothes "on". You could also emphasize the word "on" by singing the song Ten Little Monkeys Jumping ON the Bed.   You can also give your child commands to put things "in" or "on".  

Some books that you could read together that focus on these words are:

The Mitten

There Was An Old Lady That Swallowed A Fly

King Bidgood's In the Bathtub

The Napping House

Froggy Gets Dressed

What Will Fat Cat Sit On?

Hop On Pop
