Thursday October 7th "Apples Apples Apples"

Pledge, calendar, days..

Next week will be do a full unit on the seasons, but this week we have been focusing on Autumn or fall. The kids love the two songs about Autumn that we sing daily.

Started our count down until halloween. Kids know that as soon as all of the leaves our off the trees, it will be Halloween.

Start rhyming today.. Words: ants, pants, dance. Do a fun jump up and down activity with these words. Incooperate these words in to the letter of the week work that Gavyn read to the morning class, and Bethany read to the afternoon class.. Fun experience...

Song: Way up high in the apple tree, 2 little apples smiled at me. I shook that tree as hard as I could, down down came the apples, yum yum where they good.

We then took that song and made it about emotions changing the apples to sad, apples, happy apples, grumpy apples etc. We jumped around, and made faces. Lots of fun.
