September 27 - October 1 2021

 

This Monday was our first community Day!  

We celebrated end of Hispanic Heritage month by having a wonderful dance party in the Gym with all of our Early Childhood friends.

Please also check our Mrs. Clay's Blog to see what fun we had in music class doing the Conga line.

Way up high in an apple tree two red apples smiled at me!

This week we continued our study of apples.

We talked about the different colors skins are.

We cut apples in half to find the apple seeds.

We counted apple seeds.

But the most fun we had this week was making and eating our homemade applesauce!!

First we gave our apples a good washing.

Then we cut up our apple and put them into Ms. Kerno's crock pot.

And mmmmmmm it smelled good in our classroom while they were cooking.  We then put the cooked apples into our food mill and turned it in to applesauce.  

Friday we got to eat our apples at last and mmmm was it good.

We worked on our fine motor skill by using tongs to transfer apples.

We even painted with our apples this week.
