10/7 Clasroom Update!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of the parents who accompanied us on our field trip on Tuesday! We had such an amazing time at Schwallier's eating delicious donuts and drinking apple cider, picking apples and pumpkins, feeding the goats, jumping in the hay, going down the slide, and petting the baby goats, kittens, and bunnies.

  

 

This week, we learned all about apples and how apple trees grow. We learned about how the apple trees change as the seasons change, as well as how apples start as a flower and grow into a fruit. While learning about the parts of an apple, we made our own apples which are now on display in the hallway. 

After reading Ten Apples Up On Top, we also practiced painting apples and counting.

 

Next week, we will be learning about dinosaurs and focusing on the letter D!
