Mrs. Adams’s class had a great time celebrating Yellow Day while building important early literacy skills!

Students participated in a hands-on oral language activity where they moved one cube into a square for each word they heard in a sentence. This fun activity helps students understand that spoken sentences are made up of separate words, a key skill they need before learning to read and write!

We love seeing our students learn through hands-on activities!
