In November we emphasized sounds. Making noises such as animal sounds and action sounds are important aspects to your baby's development. When you say animal sounds with your baby what your baby is really learning are the sounds WE say in our language. This will help them become a good reader because they'll need to hear all those sounds in order to sound out words when they read.
Books we read this month:
The Baby Goes Beep by Rebecca O'Connell
What the Baby Hears by Laura Godwin
The Babies on the Bus by Karen Katz
The Seals on the Bus by Lenny Hort
What Happens in Babytime:
Start with our Welcome Song: The More We Get Together
Sing a nursery rhyme or other songs
Read a book
Do movement songs or action rhymes
Read a book or pass out a board book to each family. This time allows the parent to read with their child on their lap and create a safe and familiar space for the baby to explore a book such as holding it and turning pages.
Pass out scarves to play peek a boo
Repeat our welcome song
Bring out the bin of toys to play.
