Last week we worked with apples. We tasted and made a graph of which flavor we liked the best. On Friday we made applesauce with apples that the children brought. We put them in a crockpot in the morning with sugar and cinnamon and before we went home we enjoyed our applesauce. This week we will be doing different experiments with pumpkins.

This is where I put the pictures the children bring in from the letter of the week.

Our Schedule

We had our fall carnival yesterday and it was a big success. I want to thank all the parents for coming. I saw a dinosaur, mermaid, and some princess, the kids looked great. Monday we have no school but on Tuesday we start the week strong working on sounds of the alphabet, numbers 6-10, and discovering plants. We will also be doing experiments with apples and on Friday we will make apple sauce (don't forget your peeled and cut apple).

I am finished testing for TPRI. I will begin working with children in small groups starting Monday. I will be looking at test results and helping children with their alphabet, phonemic awareness and rhyming. Hobbs will have our first Fall Carnival on Saturday I hope to see everyone there. Here is a great website to help your child.
