Week of October 16-19, 2023

Dear Room 108 Families,

What a great week we had! Even though it was a short week, the students were fully engaged and learning so much. I am excited to share what we learned this week with you!

What Did We Learn About This Week?

This week we learned a lot about apples! We talked about the colors, sizes and weight. The students even had an opportunity to taste three different kinds of apples. We created a graph to see which apple did most students like? Ask your child to tell you which colored apple was the best.

We used playdough to make faces on pumpkins. Some pumpkins looked happy and some looked sad. Talk to your child about different emotions. We all experience different emotions and ways to help when we get angry or frustrated. Sometimes when I get angry, I will take a deep breath.

Watch this video about 5 little pumpkins.

We read Ten Apples Up On Top. The children really enjoyed this story. They thought it was funny when the dog, tiger, and lion had apples on their head and tried making it harder to hold them up. One of our projects was to roll a dice and put that number of apples on their heads. We put these pictures in the hallway for all to see!

We also read the story called Freight Train by Donald Crews. The children learned about the different kinds of train cars. They learned that trains transport things to other places. Click the link below to listen to the story.
