Fall is the time of year I miss most from New England. The trees change such beautiful colors and the air is cool and crisp. For most, fall means a trip to the apple orchard and then home to make a host of apple treats. This morning we looked at apples, smelled them and even tasted one.
Fall is the time of year I miss most from New England. The trees change such beautiful colors and the air is cool and crisp. For most, fall means a trip to the apple orchard and then home to make a host of apple treats. This morning we looked at apples, smelled them and even tasted one. During our morning centers time we had an opportunity to explore apples in a variety of fun ways. We worked hard flexing our fine motor muscles with an assortment of different tools. The children had many opportunities to paint today. Some worked with red and green paints at the easel. Then we stamped some apples with paper tubes and used our fingers dipped in green paint to be the leaves of our apples. One of the stories we read today was Ten Apples Up On Top. After reading it we acted it out with felt apples and some animal figures. It was great to hear the counting going on as the children piled the apples on! Of course we ate apples too! We used our five senses to observe an apple before we cut it open and enjoyed a tasty treat! 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
