Apples

Last week we learned about apples!  We started out by learning the life cycle of an apple and the parts of an apple. Then we labeled the parts.  Our art project helped us remember new vocabulary: stem, leaf, seeds, flesh, core, and skin.

Our class listened to this story.

They loved it.  Do you remember Amelia Bedelia?  She always says such funny things!  We used this story to discuss setting, characters, and problems in stories.

On Friday we sampled Granny Smith, Red Delicious, and Honey Crisp apples.  Students voted on their favorite and we created a pictograph.  The Granny Smith had the most votes.

Finally, we celebrated with homemade applesauce!  Yum!  I already had the apples cooking in the crock pot and kids took turns mashing them.

39 Days Smarter!!

Today we are 39 days smarter!!  Yeah!  It is fun to look back and think about how much we have learned in those 39 days!  Here is a flashback to the first day of Kindergarten!

Calling All Superheroes!

I am very excited about our theme this year!  We are going to be Superheroes in Kindergarten!  Last Friday we made Super Learner Capes.  They were adorable and, of course, we had to show them off!

I will share many more pictures later.  They had some fantastic poses!

Don't forget to check back frequently.  I hope to post updates a couple times a week to keep you informed with what we are doing in class, share pictures, and give tips on how to help your child at home!

Last Day of School!

Friday was a fun day to celebrate all of our accomplishments in Kindergarten!  We took some time to decorate the sidewalk outside of our building with sidewalk chalk.  Here are a few photographs of our work (it was very bright and sunny outside)...

 Here is a picture of our Kindergarten group!  I am so proud of these darlings!

And of course we have to have a silly picture!

I was honored to be your child's teacher this year and I can't wait to see all they accomplish in the future! 

HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!!
