This afternoon during group time we created a graph about farm animals. After reading a story about the farm and talking about the different sounds farm animals make, it was time to talk about our favorite animals! Each child had a turn to come up to the board and put their name under their favorite animal. What a joy it was for them to put their special person up on the board! After the graph was finished, we counted how many children liked each animal. Using their name recognition people is a wonderful way for them to start recognizing their names as well!
