Dear Parents,
It is hard to believe that we have been in school for four weeks already. The children have adjusted well to our classroom routines. They are all so busy and engaged in activities from the second they walk into the classroom; whether it’s building with blocks, exploring the science area, wheeling a doll carriage around the room or just socializing. It is such a pleasure to see how well they interact with each other.
This week we continued our apple theme by making apple shakers and apple picture frames. We also enjoyed listening to some apple stories. Some of our favorites were: Up, Up, Up!: It’s Apple Picking by Jody Shapiro, Apples by Gail Gibbons and The Apple Story by Ken Robbins.
The children had such a good time singing and dancing with Miss Michelle, while Yina played the piano. They sang “It Takes Eight to make a Circle,” Way up High in the Apple Tree and “Clap, Clap, Clap your Hands.” The children also enjoyed discovering the violin and piano this week.
The highlight of the week was when Corey from Curious Creatures visited the school. The children had a chance to touch, pat, and even hold the creatures. Some of their favorite animals and reptiles were snakes, chinchillas, baby snapping turtles, alligators and a bearded dragon lizard. What a fun learning experience it was for the children.
We concluded the week by making delicious apple muffins.
Reminder: Scholastic Weekly Reader orders are due next week.
Love,
Ms. Bonne
