Apples

Here are the apples we painted this week. We dipped the ends of cardboard tubes into red paint and stamped the apple with circles. 

A is for Apple

It's been a crazy and fun almost 4 weeks into the school year! We've had Fog Days and the county fair, with more events to come. For the last couple weeks, we started an author study about Mo Willems and have read several of his books including books from The Pigeon series and our class favorite, anything in The Elephant and Piggie series. While we read about elephant and piggy, the students wanted to know more about about real elephants.  We read a nonfiction book about elephants and learned many facts about elephants, one being why elephants flap their ears. For our fair project, the two day class made paper plate piggies and the three day class made a paper plate elephants to go with our Moe Willems theme. This week we started our academic themes. We are learning about the letter A, Number zero, shape circle, and the color red. Here's what we did this week!

- painted an apple red

- sing-a-Song about circles

- completed finger plays about apples

- danced to the chicken dance, The dinosaur march, and sang our days of the week and months of the year songs during circle time

- we read "Secrets of the Apple tree" shine a light book from Usborne Books

- we practiced writing the A

- we fed Letter Muncher pictures that start with the A

- during gross motor time we picked apples and ran them back to Miss Rachel's basket

Next week we are learning about the letter B. Check back next week to see what we are up to in the classroom!

Working on the room

I have been in the room the last 2 days working!  I am having technical difficulties uploading pictures from my phone to the blog tonight .  Hoping to figure this out soon and will post pictures when I can.

More posts

 Sorry for the long absence , but as I've said before sometimes it can be difficult to continue my blog when life and being a busy teacher  need my attention .  I love my classroom and I love my  students and wish to focus on them and sometimes that means not being able to post a blog as I should or want to.  I make the same promise every year to do better with the blogging.   So as I stated being a busy person and a busy teacher hinders me from posting .  That being said I wouldn't have it any other way and I want to give my full attention to all of my students .  So this year I make the commitment that I will try to blog more but it will not be as frequent as in the past .  I now have an easier way to post pictures and blog posts at my fingertips and hope this will help me keep the blog updated on a more regular basis and not have to take time and plug into a computer and upload pictures and posts .  With this faster and easier method I hope to be able to  relate information faster,  post faster and also commit myself to my classroom and my students as well as you the parents .   I will start adding posts in August when school starts back up .  Keep an eye out for information  in August about what is happening in our classroom.  Until then enjoy the rest of your summer !!!
