Our Favourite Part of the Day:
On Monday we made apple sauce and had calendar
On Tuesday we made apples and did patterns.
On Wednesday we learned about Terry Fox and went for a run.
On Thursday we coloured apples and played outside.
On Friday we did not have school.
Apples
On Monday we made apple sauce. We peeled and cut apples before school started. Then we let them boil during calendar. Before snack the children took turns mashing the apples. We let the apple sauce cool and we added some cinnamon and sugar. After we came in from outside the children were able to eat the apple sauce. Some children liked the apple sauce and asked for seconds and some didn't want to try. Many said that it didn't taste like the apple sauce that they bring from home.
On Tuesday we completed life cycle of an apple crafts. This was hard work for the children because it involved colouring, cutting and pasting. These apples looked awesome when they were all done. I got this activity from Robin Sellers and you can find it here.
On Thursday we coloured and labeled the parts of an apple.

We started learning about patterns this week. On Tuesday we learned that patterns happen when something repeats over and over again. We explored this idea with two colours of cubes.
On Thursday we continued different patterns on the white board and then separated patterns by the core component (the part that keeps repeating).
We will continue learning about patterns next week.

Animated Literacy:
On Monday we drew mom and a mop and wrote a sentence.
On Wednesday we sang "Skip to my Lou" and substituted the nouns. Then we completed a worksheet. I am attaching our lyrics as well as a link to a video so that you can hear the tune for the song.

The children have been doing a wonderful job presenting their name puzzle pieces. I sent home the "interest puzzle piece" this week. It is a purple piece. Here is my example:
Don't Forget:
Send a healthy snack with your child. A list has been sent home or you can visit 100 Days of Real Food for some awesome ideas.
Each child needs to have indoor shoes, a backpack and appropriate clothing for the weather.
Feel free to contact me anytime with any questions or concerns. I can be reached at the school, by email or just drop in (I am usually around before school).
