Also, please contact me if you have a special family tradition that you would like to share with the class. We would love to learn more about your traditions.
We have had so much fun this week talking and learning about fall and apples. Thank you for sending in so many different types of apples. We have observed the apples, weighed and measured them, tasted and graphed the results, used an amazing peeler/corer/slicer machine and tomorrow we will cook apples. I really love my job. The children loved the machine. I think apples taste even better when they are cut into thin spirals. We tasted 3 types of apples; granny smith, red delicious, and honey crisp. The children liked the honey crisp the best. These pictures show our poem of the week, book making center and science center. Thank goodness today the weather started feeling a little like fall. We continue each week to work on writing and build our reading stamina. This week we created an anchor chart for writing. Each day we review " What makes writing easy to read?". Thank you for encouraging writing at home. We also read 'just right books' daily in our classroom. It is very important that children feel successful as they begin to learn to read. Thank you for sending the little books back so that I can find new books for your child. Next week the children will come up with a new chore to do at home. They will be bringing home a door hanger that has the new chore on the front and a chart on the back. Thank you in advance for helping your child contribute to their family community. If this new chore is impossible to do, please come up with another chore that fits better into your family.
