Fall is upon us!
I wanted to take a minute to thank everyone (parents included) for being so welcoming to me over the last few weeks as I've settled into my role at Tritt. It is a joy to go to work every day and to spend time with my students and teachers! To all the parents, thank you so so much for being accommodating and flexible as I've moved around my schedule.
The theme over the next few weeks is all about apples and fall time festivities! I love everything about autumn- the turning leaves, crisp weather, Georgia football, apple cider, and pumpkin carving. Our activities will be centered on fall, and the students' goals will be targeted in the midst of the theme. I encourage you to do the same at home- here are a few suggestions:
The possibilities are truly endless! If you are able to try any of these suggestions (or if you have any fall ideas of your own!), feel free to leave a comment and let me know how it turned out!

Our activities will be centered on fall, and the students' goals will be targeted in the midst of the theme. I encourage you to do the same at home- here are a few suggestions:
- pick leaves together and talk about the different colors, classifying them by color or shape
- practice counting out apples and point out that we add an "s" to make apples plural (one apple, two apples)
- play ring toss around a pumpkin and practice speech sounds or initiating a turn ("My turn" or "I want a turn" depending on your child's language development)
- look at books about fall or apples and point out the difference between words and pictures, describing the pictures using adjectives
- bake or cook a fall treat together and talk about the steps you take to make the food, encouraging sequencing ("First, we crack the eggs, then we add the sugar, etc.")
The possibilities are truly endless! If you are able to try any of these suggestions (or if you have any fall ideas of your own!), feel free to leave a comment and let me know how it turned out!
