Apples

This week our theme was “Apples”.  The children created mosaic apples out of paper squares and painted an apple core!  We also worked on matching, colors, graphing, shapes and sequencing.  Our letter for the week was Aa.  Please take time each week to review our letter and discuss items that begin with that letter sound.

 

Next week our theme will be “Five Senses”.  The children will learn about each of the five senses and our week will include a ‘Five Senses Nature Hike’ through the woods behind SES (weather permitting).  We will continue to review shapes, colors and cutting on a line.  Our letter for the week will be Yy.  Remember that Thurs. Sept. 26^th is an Early Release Day: please be sure to send a note if your child needs to go somewhere other then their normal drop off point at the end of the day.
