Theme: Apples
We did a taste test between Red Delicious (red) apples and Granny Smith (green) apples and then we voted to see which one was the favourite.
After this we created a poem using our five senses.
We continued to learn about the parts of an apple and completed a colouring activity to show the different parts.
I read the book "A Day at the Apple Orchard" by Megan Faulkner and we discussed the life cycle of an apple.
We made our own apple pies. I got the recipe from The Blond Cook. They were simple and delicious!

We continued to practice counting this week. We played BINGO.
We also continued to build towers that matched the number

I am using Deanna Jump and Deedee Willis' resource called "Guiding Readers: Read AloudLessons and Activities" as part of my Language Arts program for the year. I am very excited about this resource because you read the same book all week but then look at it in different ways to learn reading concepts. This week I read the story "The Recess Queen" by Alexis O'Neill.
Throughout the week we looked at:
Predicting: what do you think will happen next?
Retelling: Telling what happened at the beginning, middle and end of the story.
Opinions: What was your favourite part of the story?
On Monday we learned about Dr. Ollie Ostrich who cures animals with his magic omelets.
On Wednesday we drew a pop, which is another term for father.
On Friday we learned about Mimi Mermaid who turn monsters into mice with her magic mop.

In art this week we learned about my friend "Larry the Line" and completed line paintings using the many types of lines found in art: horizontal, vertical, diagonal, curvy and angled. I got the idea from Cassie Stephens. These art pieces look fantastic!

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).
