Dear Families,
A huge THANK YOU for those who traveled to Rocky Ridge apple orchard with us this week. It was wet and cool but awesome! I think it is important for children play outside in all types of weather. We have small pumpkins we will be painting in art and will come home later in the month.
We made applesauce on Thursday with the apples we got at Rocky Ridge and after lots of turning and squishing, we ate the delicious treat! I hope you found the apple core I sent home with the attached instructions for planting your own apple tree.
In science we are learning about the life cycle of the butterfly and have begun our apple unit. We currently have 12 caterpillars in chrysalis, 2 caterpillars still munching. Hoping the weather stays mild until they can travel to Mexico! We have learned so much about the caterpillar life cycle!
Books Read: Big, Red Apple, Mr. Brown's Magnificent Apple Tree, Wiggle's Apple Book
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; Daisy Dragon and Timmy Tiger.
In math we are getting to know numbers 0-10, sorting, discussing a graph, using math manipulatives, 10 frames, finger counting, working with 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)
