Apples, apples everywhere. . .who knew such fun could be had! Did you know that an apple floats in water? Or that there is a star on the inside? We had a blast making taffy apples, assembling an apple and labeling the parts, painting apples (red, yellow or green), and even using a real apple to make apple prints with! We took advantage of the beautiful weather this week and spent lots of time going for walks and playing on the playground!! Ask your child about the bonfire that they built :) We also worked on some number recognition and color matching with a few different apple games at center time. The children had to put "seeds" on the apples and count the number of seeds. They also put "apples" in the apple tree. We will continue working on these skills throughout the coming weeks! During our apple taste test on Thursday we discovered yellow apples (golden delicious) were the most popular. Overall the children enjoyed ALL the apples!! We told a cute little story about finding a little red house with no windows, no doors and a star inside! If you want to find that little red house on your own at home, all you will need is a red apple and a knife! This is one of our favorite apple songs that we have been singing this week...
Way up high, in the tree Way up high, in the tree, Five red (or green) apples smiled at me, So I shook that tree as hard as I could, Down came an apple mmm, mmm, good! (Continue with four, three, etc) Next week we will begin our exploration into all things fall. We will be discussing what happens in the fall, what changes we can expect to see outside, and next week, we will talk about how animals adapt to the change in seasons! Have a great weekend!!
