Apples, Apples Everywhere!


We have become apple experts in our classroom! We sampled apples (red was our classroom favorite), we sorted apples, we counted apples, we colored apples, we cut apples, and we planted apple seeds! We even read about apples! Our favorite story was Ten Apples on Top, by Dr. Seuss!


We are also working extremely hard to learn our letters and sounds. If you ask us what Allie Alligator says, we can show you! We are learning our letters through a program called Zoophonics! Each letter of the alphabet has an animal to relate the letter sound to!


Also, ask your kindergarten to sing the "Shape Train" song. In math, we sing songs to learn math concepts! So far, "Shape Train" and "Do You Like to Count" are our favorites!


Next week we are learning about germs! Beaware for "Germs" coming home!


Finally, I want to invite all of you to share this blog with your extended family members! It's a great way to stay close! Also, feel free to post on this blog as well!
