This week we have been work on Letter H. We used bingo dabbers to write H, and played I Spy H. We talked about the /h/ sound and glued hearts to a big letter H.
We conclude our apple unit this week. The children answered Ms. Dede's riddle...
What is a red house with no windows, no doors, and has a star inside?? AN APPLE!! Then we had fun making apple prints. Even Brownie enjoyed an apple snack.
They learned how an apple grows from a seed, to a sprout, tree, flower, and then fruit! We made a HUGE apple and they will label the parts of an apple tomorrow. PLUS, we will be making homemade applesauce with Ms. Joanne using a traditional strainer that the children will need to use their muscles to help mash the apples. (Thank you for the contributions of apples.)
*** Keep checking your child's backpack. There are occasional reminders and statements from the office. Important classroom news, and of course their amazing artwork. Coming home tomorrow will be a permission slip for their upcoming field trip, the October calendar and book orders. ***
Looking ahead to next week:
We will review letters E, F, and H. Make a book about the color red. We may even get to paint at the easel this week and have fun getting messy with some fingerpaints. I can't forget about my smelly dough! They will love smelling and playing with the orange kool-aid playdough I made.
Our picture day will be Wednesday, Oct. 9th (after our field trip). Once I get the order forms, I will send them home ASAP. You do have the option to purchase individual pictures or just the class photo.
Enjoy the rest of the week and have a super weekend!
