Apples

Hello-

Picture day went very well! The children looked so fancy and showed off their best smiles! Today the kiddos worked on finishing their "Apple Happy" books. When it comes home see if they can read it to you. We made apples and labeled its parts. We worked on ripped paper apple trees to strengthen our little fingers to help us become better writers. We have been practicing writing our names with a capital only on the first letter. I can't believe how fast they are mastering this! Try practicing at home. One letter that is SO tricky is lower case "a" The rhyme I have taught them to say when making an "a" is ....magic "c" then helicopter up and slide down. Always make an "a" by making a "c" first.  We call "c" the magic letter because you can make an "a", "o", "g" & "q" all by starting with a "c"
Tomorrow we will be looking at all the apples that have come in. We will categorize, graph and finally taste the apples. It's been a fast and busy week. Have a great weekend!
