During our work cycle the children worked with some of the apple lessons that have been presented during circle time.

Our dancers had a fun time showing off their dance moves during class. They practiced skipping, galloping, and jumping.

There were lots of smiles during picture time this morning.

We had a great time in Arts Alive! Yesterday. We danced around the world making stops in Mexico where we danced The Mexican Hat Dance and danced with maracas; Brazil where we arrived by train to twirled with friends, flew to Africa where we danced like lions and drove to the airport to fly to Texas where we rode horses to Houston where we caught stars.

We continued to work with apples in our math area with our apple one to one matching lesson. The children matched two halves of apples( half with seeds and half with numerals) to make a whole apple. Some of the children also worked on numeration with an apple counting worksheet.

The children also had a fun time in Jumpbunch. Coach Luca brought in balls that we got to use to practice our shooting skills with. The children had a great time bouncing the balls and shooting them into a hoop he brought for us. We cannot wait for the fun that awaits us in Arts Alive!

Scholastic book orders are due tomorrow. Please make checks to Scholastic Book Clubs.

Did you know that an orchard is an apple farm? We read the book Apple Farmer Annie by Monica Wellington and learned about an orchard and the many things that can be made from apples: cider, juice, pies, muffins, etc. The children practiced their cutting skills on an apple sequencing worksheet. The children colored, cut, and glued the stages of eating an apple.

The children learned how to say the words “yes” and “no” in sign language and helped Ms. KariAnn as she read us a story.

Did you know today is Johnny Appleseed’s birthday? We celebrated his birthday by making our own pot hats and tasting fresh apples and dried apples. The children voted for their favorite . The children enjoyed the dried apples the best and we had three children who liked both.

The children had a fun time in Soccer Shots. They were excited to share that they learned that the word determination means to never give up.

Sibling Pictures are tomorrow.
