Hi Goldfish Families!

This has been a very busy week for us! We have joined our Jellyfish class for lots of singing, dancing, and activities while Ms. Annie is getting well. We are celebrating the arrival of fall with lots of activities and new music. We replaced a few of our planned art activities with some fun things the Jellyfish were doing to move things more smoothly. Yesterday we learned "The Squirrel Song" and the kids love it! You can help them learn it at home, too :)

Just a reminder- All Goldfish must have one parent come on the field trip next Friday to Tanaka Farms. No staff will be at the school during the hours of the field trip. And of course, we would love to have our little ones that don't normally come to school on Fridays join us!

Keep them washing those little hands! We are all fighting off germs this week.

Happy Tuesday Seahorse families!! This week we have been discussing the signs of fall and what fall is all about. After talking about the changes we will be seeing the kids are really excited to see it for themselves.

Yesterday we made hand print leaves and today we worked on leaf prints. Today's activity was a bit harder. We placed different leaves under our paper and colored over it with a crayon. Given it's small challenge i was happy to see them enjoy it.
The rest of the week we will continue to talk about Fall And the color red. Please have your child start thinking of something Red to bring to Share day on Friday. I have a few pictures i would like to share. Have a great week and enjoy!

Falling Leaves

Hello everyone! Today was such an exciting day! We are going to be working together to learn as much as we can about FALL and the changes that come along with it. Today we had a wonderful discussion about what we already know about fall. We went on a leaf hunt and collected all kinds of leaves; we are leaving these out to dry and later in the week make some cool crafts. We are beginning our observation by leaving 5 different types of leaves dry out; we are observing and recording the changes daily. The chart is located by the Sea Star's large bulletin board. We'll be doing lots of science and sorting games (math and language practice), as well as exercising our cognitive thinking to discuss and explain what we are experiencing this week. Enjoy the pictures from our leaf hunt!

HELLO SEA STAR FAMILIES!

First blog of the school year! Sorry it has taken this long. I wanted to meet all of you and get acquainted first before beginning to display all the wonderful things we are doing together. First of all thank you to all of you who attended Back to School Night, and those who did not if you have any questions feel free to contact me.

This week was our APPLES week. Such a fun week filled with new information and lots of interesting activities. We learned all about Johnny Appleseed and took into account his passion for including everyone into what he loved most: APPLES. We discussed the parts of an apple, why they turn brown when we leave them out, the different kinds of foods we can make with them, and the wonderful story of who Johnny Appleseed was. We had a wonderful time sharing stories, graphing apples, measuring ourselves with apples, and listening, as well as respecting each others opinions throughout the week about our choices in apples.

Today, Friday, we graphed the apples we brought to share with the class and learned about why we liked these apples. After our discussion we sat at the table, and together made a very yummy apple cake for the whole school!

Have a wonderful weekend, and see you all next week. I will have wonderful memories from this week. Here are some pictures for all of you to share the experience...

Hi Seahorse Families! This week we are discussing Apples. We started off the week with a story about Johnny Appleseed. The children got to learn why he was such a special person and they really liked that he planted apple seeds.
Yesterday we talked about the parts of an apple The children should be able to tell you where the Stem, Skin, flesh, and core of the apple is. tomorrow we will be Tasting apples =) yum yum.
For share day this week please have your child pick one of their favorite apples to share with their friends. Thank you and have a great week. I hope to see everyone tonight.
