Students talked about the parts of the apple and labeled the parts of an apple on a giant apple we have posted in the room. Students also graphed their favorite colored apples and discussed the results of the graph. This teaches math skills as well as decision making.
On Wednesday, students helped make apple sauce by helping to peel the apples and add the ingredients to the crock pot. They then watched it cook all day. Thursday we ate our homemade applesauce for snack. It was delicious! We also discussed what will happen at the apple orchard on our field trip that is next week.
The letter of the week was Cc. We learned the sign language for a letter, the literacy link sound symbols, the letter sound, and looking at and writing it in both capital letters and lower case letters. Click here to view the many ways we learn the letter of the week!Each week we watch letter videos from "Have Fun Teaching" and the students are really picking up the names of letters, formations, and the sounds of letters. Check out these videos with you child! Click HERE.
The Tuesday project of letter of the week is to decorate a letter with something that starts with the letter. This week we decorated the letter C with Cotton Clouds. On Thursday, our letter of the week project was to read a page from our alphabet book, C is for cat.

It is always recommended they dress in layers so they can remove layers if the weather is warmer. If you are a chaperone, a letter should have come home with chaperone expectations.

- Dress for the weather. Please send your child dressed for the weather as we go outside as long as it is not raining or below 0*(students are more than welcome to bring layers daily or to leave in their lockers) It may also be time to change out the change of clothes to make sure they are weather appropriate. If you send a new change of clothes, we will send the warm weather clothes in their backpacks.
- Folders. Please be checking your child's daily folder each night. We put notes on the notebook pages in their folders as well as any notes we may have for you. Artwork is also sent home this way.
