Apples! & Important Reminder: School on Friday Sept 21

Last week we learned how to draw ourselves by singing the Mat Man song. We made sure to remember all of our body parts. We made a self-portrait inspired by Todd Parr, using bright bold colours for our faces. They turned out great!

We continued to work on sorting this week. We learned that we can sort by color, shape, and size. 

We started learning about apples this week. We talked about all the things we know about apples, like how they are red and grow from seeds. We dissected an apple together and looked inside. Some of us guessed that there would be seeds inside! After that we drew a diagram of our apple and labelled all the parts.

During centre time, we worked on our fine motor skills by sorting with tweezers and tongs, and cutting and pasting.
