Hello!

**With the seasonal switch of the weather, please look in your child’s bathroom cubby to make sure that they have weather appropriate clothing! Thanks!

The welcome activity this morning was used in a multitude of ways.

For our younger friends, it was used as a way to count using one to one correspondence. We also talked about the different colors of the items as well as the size! Within the bin, there were airplanes, cars, trucks, bears, etc.

For our older friends, we focused on comparing the size of the items and putting them into order. There were bowls supplied and we discussed which bowl had the greatest number of items AND what bowl had the least amount of items. (K.NS.7).  A few children also took the initiate to make a pattern using the different colored items.

When our swimmers drove off to go to the Y, those of us back at school made apple chips! After I sliced all of the apples, we mixed a tiny bit of sugar and cinnamon so that the apples would be coated in the mixture. There were a few apple slices that didn’t work out so of course we had to taste test!

A few children helped me measure the ingredients as well as smelling the cinnamon. YUM! After a little over two hours cooking in the oven, we had apple chips! (the house smelled like a cup of fall!)

The final result!

We were all about the bikes when we went outside this morning. There wasn’t a whole lot of sun in the backyard this morning so most of us chose to wear a coat!

In large group, we read ‘Rosie To The Rescue’. After reading about Rosie, we looked at important things that we learned from the story such as the main characters as well as the setting. In the story, Rosie’s parents had left for the day and her aunt Lilly was watching her. Rosie was afraid that all of these horrible things were going to happy to her parents but if they did, she would come to their rescue! The end of the story was happy: her parents came home at the end of the day! (K.RL.2.3)

We hope you had a FABULOUS day!
