Dear Families,
A huge THANK YOU for those who traveled to Rocky Ridge Apple Orchard with us this week. We picked an apple to eat, went for a hay ride and chose a little pumpkin to get creative with next week, and we had a yummy donut and cool glass of apple juice. The weather was perfect and the children were awesome guests of the orchard! It was so much fun and I hope you heard all about it!
We will make applesauce next week with the apples we bought at Rocky Ridge and they will bring home an apple core with the attached instructions for planting your own apple tree.Look for that next week.
In science we are learning about the life cycle of the butterfly and have begun our apple unit. We currently have 4 caterpillars in chrysalis, 5 caterpillars still munching and we have let four butterfly start his journey to Mexico. We have learned so much about the caterpillar life cycle!
Books Read: Big, Red Apple, Johnny Appleseed, Mr. Brown's Magnificent Apple Tree
Animated Alphabet is our approach to phonemic awareness and spelling. The letters are taught through a multi sensory approach of music, dance, characters and signs which help the students hold onto that information. The characters we learned this week were; Actress Annie and Daisy Dragon.
In math we are getting to know numbers 0-10, sorting, discussing a graph, using math manipulatives, five frames, shape patterns, describing 2-D shapes, and continuing our calendar routines. Our routines at calendar time include; counting to the calendar number of the day, weather observations, tracking the number of days we have been in school and days of the week.
We are learning about the Woolwich Way! The Woolwich Way is made up of 6 qualities that will help us to be the best we can be! (Courtesy- I can use good manners, Compassion-I can help others, Respect- I can treat others kindly, Honesty-I can tell the truth, Responsibility- I can take care of myself and my stuff, Quality- I can do my best even when things are hard)
