TREE STUDY WEEK 1

This week will begin our first week of our Tree study.  The Questions for the week are  “What do we know about trees?”and  “What do we want to find out?”  The Question of the day is “Did you see a tree on the way to school today?” To help answer all of these questions we will take a nature walk on the school grounds and explore the trees. We will gather items from the trees that we find and fill the sensory table.  For art we will use a tree item to paint with at the table. Feel free to send in any items you and your child may find on a walk in your neighborhood.  I am a personal fan of the state tree the Buckeye and its fruit!!

We have also created a tree in the classroom that the students will name along with adding their own ideas of what we can do with a tree.

Our letters for the week are I and J and Math will be patterning.

This week we will be working on our family trees using the family pictures you have sent in.  If you have not sent in a family picture please send one in or email the picture to my email address, pkalister@fairview.k12oh.us

Our stories of the week is Our Tree Named Steve which is a sweet story about the things in life we hold dear to us, and the favorite Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.

Miss Peggy will be out Monday morning and Mrs. Donna Kempton will be subbing.  She is very familiar with substituting for our DAP program.  I will return at noon for the afternoon class.

September 26 is Literacy Night from 6:30-7:30 Pm. Please plan on attending.
