WAAG 9/23/13

WAAG (Week At A Glance)

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!
