Week of September 20-24

Dear Families;
I want to start by thinking all those who helped out with Apple Week by providing supplies and volunteering in the classroom. I feel it was quite a success. On Monday students tasted three different types of apples: red, green, and yellow. We then charted the apples we liked the best. Tuesday we celebrated the birthday of Johnny Appleseed and learned the sequence of growing an apple tree. On Wednesday we made very cute apple man that is hanging in the hallways. Stop by and check him out! Thursday was another tasting day. Students became scientists as they "experimented" with apple juice, apple sauce, apple jelly, and apple cereal. We ended apple week by learning how to draw an apple and working on AB patterns with apple pictures. I hope we made some great memories.

During our Animated Alphabet time this week we learned about Timmy Tiger and Saddie Seal. Thank you so much for making an effort to get pictures to school. Our alphabet books are great and will be a wonderful resource during center time that we will be starting soon.

Math this week had the students working on shapes, writing numbers and more graphing.

I also wanted to thank you for the wonderful response to book orders. I hope you are enjoying your books and continue to order throughout the year. Due to your amazing response I was able to order a lot of really great books for our classroom library.

Keep reading to your child and working on letters and their sounds at home!
Mrs. Minor
