This week we will be focusing on the question: What are the characteristics of the trees in our community? We will be using our senses to discover this answer.  We will be tasting different apples and comparing tastes and preferences. One of our books this week is The Grouchy Ladybug along wth revisiting Our Tree Named Steve.  For math we will be working on solidifying our counting to 5 skills. As many children are able to count beyond five we encourage them to do so.  But for those who need the constant review of counting to 5 , we will support their learning. Our letters of the week are K and L.  We will be painting our K with keys and decorating our L with leaves.  The children always seem to love this unit and their attention to details and conversations about the trees is always interesting.

REMINDERS: Picture day for DAP is October 19th!

PM CLASS ONLY: Our first filed trip is this Thursday October 5th.  We will start out our week with a visit from Miss Debi Abela from the ELI program.  She will be coming every Monday of our field trip week to go over what we will see when we get there.  She also sends/brings in some great hands on activities that we will use in our centers ( both AM and PM classes) just because she brings really cool stuff!!

Please have your student in their room by 11:45 AM.  The bus will leave the district promptly at 12 Noon.
