With the help of the book Ten Apples on Top, we practiced counting and number recognition. Then we made a class book with apples on our heads! This will be part of our first Literacy Bag. The Literacy Bag will begin it's journey from house to house on Sunday. Please enjoy the book and the activity inside for one night; then quickly return it the next day for the child waiting.
We also tasted 2 different kinds of apples. We found out that red apples are sweet and green apples are more sour. We graphed our favorite then made a patterned cheese and apple kabob. Most of us liked the green apples.
We began learning All About Me. We made faces that look like us and graphed the number of boys and girls. Can you tell which has the most?
Next week we will continue our All About Me unit and begin discussing feelings. We also will introduce letter B. You may send an object that begins with the /Bb/ sound. In Math, we will begin shapes.
Once again, I want to thank you all for coming to Back to School Night. This year would not be successful without the help of you wonderful parents!
Remember, feel free to comment on the blog. I even had a parent tell me this week the blog helped spark conversation between their child and the grandparents residing in America. This communication is for you, so be sure to take advantage. ;)
Enjoy the weekly slideshow below and have a fabulous weekend!

Peter didn't tell us about the apples he ate in school. But he did say that he ate donuts, including chocolate flavored and ones covered in sprinkles. With a little more prompting and knowing your guidelines about healthy snacks, I learned that it was actually part of a "what I like" activity and no donuts were consumed. For a moment though, I was thinking that at the next morning drop off I might bring a cup of coffee with me and linger around for awhile to see what tasty things might come my way.
ReplyDeleteI love the All About Me slideshow! I think it's great for the kids' confidence to get up in front of the class and speak. Thanks for letting us be 'flies on the wall'!
