Week of September 13- 17

So much learning and fun happened this week. Our focuses of the week were the letter Aa, the number 4, the shape of an oval and the color green. Our theme this week was also way up high in the apple tree and we learned all about apples. On Monday, we read " A Day at the Apple Orchard". Then we used our paint dobbers to trace the letter A. We read a book about germs and how they make us sick in science. We are really working on making sure we are covering our mouths and doing a great job about washing our hands. They are getting good at reminding themselves and their friends to use their elbow to cover their mouths when they cough because if they don't they might get sick and have to stay home which makes all of us sad that a friend is gone! On Tuesday, we read "Peppa Goes Apple Picking". Then in center time we going to stamping apples in our fall tree. We used red, yellow and green paint just like the color of apples! On Wednesday, we read "Fluffy Goes Apple Picking". We got to put an apple puzzle together that spelled their names! On Thursday, we read "Pick Me an Apple". We traced the capital and lower case a and even got to try and write it on our own! We also got to try red, green and yellow apples to see which our favorite was! We colored an apple of whichever one was our favorite and hung it on our apple tree! We then counted to see which apple was the classes favorite! The favorite apple for us was green. On Friday, we read "I am an Apple". All together we made applesauce in the crockpot in our classroom!! Just a reminder that there is no school next Friday, September 24th. Enjoy the photos from the week! I will see you all on Monday! Enjoy your weekend!
