PS Our kiddos loved these activities!

They loved 

acting out the rhymes 

and 

sharing laughs with their friends.

PSS The first word the kiddos wanted to learn 

to read and to write

was their own name!

 

PSSS Then the kiddos wanted to learn 

all their friends 

and  family member's names!

PSSSS Then the kiddos started to make connections

with the letters and the sounds--

the Power of the NAME!
