Apples, Apples Everywhere!

If you know me, you know that I LOVE apples!  I love eating them, smelling them, picking them and decorating with them.  So, every year I love September rolling around because we get to do fun apple activities!  So, this week we will be doing two apple projects, one of them is making and labeling an apple with it's parts (stem, leaf, core, seeds, etc.) and the other is a project based off of the story Ten Apples On Top... be watching for these cute ideas, and pictures to come!  Here is a sneak peek at one of the projects.  Also, this week we will really be focusing on rhyming!  Please work on rhyming with your child at home, in the car, at the park, or anywhere you can fit it in.

We are also starting counting to 5... so we start off really slow, but this is essential to the students' understanding of numbers and how they work.  

Also, be watching for the new math homework pages that will be sent home this week.... DON'T throw them away at the end of the week, the topic may run longer than 5 days, so leave the pages in the homework folder until the topic is completed!  If you have any questions, please ask.... we are going to have an AWESOME week!
