We began with several tray explorations. The children could count apples, sort apples by color and explore apples and their parts at the science table. We even had red and green paint at the easel for the first time today and it was a major hit. I don't think I have ever had a class take more of an interest in the easel than this group. They love to paint!
This is a class of apple lovers! We played with apples, painted with apples and taste tested apples today. This group had such a full morning. We began with several tray explorations. The children could count apples, sort apples by color and explore apples and their parts at the science table. We even had red and green paint at the easel for the first time today and it was a major hit. I don't think I have ever had a class take more of an interest in the easel than this group. They love to paint! The children are also enjoying our circle time where we spend time listening to a story, singing songs, participating in finger plays or working on a particular skill as a group. Today the boys and girls helped the numbered worms find their matching apples. Simple counting from 1-5, 1:1 correspondence and number recognition were all part of today's skill. We also read a wonderful non fiction book about apple which set us up for some taste testing. Yummy! We spent time talking about the different types of apples. The children got a chance to see different varieties, hold them in their hands and taste how each was unique. And of course our painting tools today were apples. Comments are closed.

Why Blog?Here you will find little snippets of our days together. When my children were in preschool and would come home I would always ask, "So, what did you do today?". All they ever said was, "Played." That didn't tell me much. I hope this blog will be a place to share what we have done and help you ask more directed questions of your child. You will see first hand just what we do after you kiss your little one goodbye in the morning. It will also be a great place to visit and see just how much your child has grown and learned throughout the year. Archives
