| With Fall on the horizon, we spent this past week learning all about Apples! Each morning our morning meeting focused on a different aspect of apples--the parts of the apple, the life cycle of the apple, etc. On Thursday, we had a tast test to determine which type of apple we liked best--yellow, green or red--and on Friday we discussed describing words. |
Apples also popped up in other areas of the classroom...math, language, etc. Check out some of the work going on this week at school: We had an exciting Career/College Week at school too! The Fire Dept. was kind enough to come visit and bring 3 engines for the kids to check out (sorry, I forgot to take my camera to this!). We also had some students "dress like a professional" on Friday. Earlier this week, we had a visit from Rescue Rex who taught the children all about 911 and the people that can help you in the case of an emergency. Remember, it's never too early to start teaching your children your phone number and their home address! Check out the slideshow on the front page of this site for more photos from the past few weeks! Next week--more apples & learning about the seasons!

We are fully into the swing of things now in September! The kids are doing great--everyone has had a great transition to school. They are all coming in nicely, putting away their things and coming to our group. Morning meeting is going great and, for the most part, everyone is able to pay attention and follow directions :) So many skills & standards are covered during our Morning Meeting--counting, patterns, letter recognition, graphing & more. It is a great opportunity for the students to learn from each other and participate in a group activity. Take the time to ask your child about these shapes and how to describe them. See this chart to see the vocabulary we used at school:
