The first week we read Tikki Tikki Tembo by Arlene Mosel and The Old Woman Who Named Things by Cynthia Rylant, both books about names.
We talked for a while about each book, and about our names, our pets' names, our stuffed animals' names, etc.
Then we made poster boards with our names on them in big block letters that they got to color. You can see one in the background here:
We also practiced spelling our names with ABC Cheeze-Its (I printed and laminated each of their names in all capital letters):
And also with plastic bottle caps with letters on them that we fished out of a bin of water with a little net. (Inspired by http://www.houseofbabypiranha.com/2010/09/we-play-name-soup.html). They really loved this:
