We're getting "BATTY" this week!

We will be studying all about BATS this week. We will be doing a variety of art, writing, science and math activities this week to learn all we can. Our featured book this week is Stellaluna. Out letters of focus are D and N...each child will continue working on their names as well. Number 7-10 will be practiced along the way.

The kids are doing very well! We are ALL getting into the groove and have basically figured each other out and how each of of "click". Please remember to check their boxes for their work, they are working very hard on everything the do.

Last week we ended the week with baking choclate chip cookies...what a blast! This week we will end the week by making a fruit salad...after learning about what fruit bats enjoy eating.

National Make a Hat Day

Did you know that today was 'National Make a Hat Day?' Well, in celebration of this great holiday we made our own hats!! The kiddos enjoyed themselves very much...I enjoyed watching their creativity and eye for design emerge! Enjoy the photos! For math today we worked on graphing. As a class we tasted 6 different kinds of apples...and then graphed our favorite apples! All 5 kids chose Granny Smith!

September 14-18

We are studying APPLES this week. We will be doing a variety of projects surrounded by apples all week. On Friday, we will be making our own apple sauce. I will provide everything for this. I have asked the kids to think of a snack that they could share with their class (8 kids) on Friday that is from an apple! They had a lot of ideas today when we talked about the possibilities. Also, don’t forget that Spanish begins on Thursday!! If you have questions please ASK! We’re having a great time…its so much fun!
