Apples Apples Apples!!

Today was a sunny, fun day in school.  We are learning all about apples and the letters a and c. We got to play in Free Centers yesterday, which was awesome!




This morning we drew a carrot and an ax in our letter journals.  During Daily 5 we got to read, play iStation on the computer, go to Working with Words and go to Book Club with Mrs. Deaton.  We did two rounds of Daily 5 and really worked hard on building our stamina. 

We went to music class today.  We played a game where we passed a carrot behind our backs around our circle while the music was playing.  When the music stopped, the person who had the carrot had to hide it behind their back.  The person in the middle of the circle had to guess who had the carrot in their hand.  We laughed a lot and had so much fun! Recess was a lot of fun today because we got to go to the playground.  We played on the fireman’s pole and slid down it.  We also played on the slides, ran in the grass and played on the structure.

Work centers are fun this week.  We are learning about what an apple tree looks like in all four seasons.  We also put pattern blocks on an alligator, made a torn paper apple, sorted a and c pictures by their sounds and put apples on our trees by numbers. 








Mrs. Deaton told us a really awesome story called “The Little Red House with No Doors and No Windows and a Star Inside”.  Guess what!!! That little red house is AN APPLE!!! We were all so surprised. We can’t wait until tomorrow because we get to taste different kinds of apples. Yummy!!



We got to do a lot of fun things on the Smartboard during math.  We sorted apples by color, shape and size.






In math rotations, some of us got to play Shape and Color Bingo with Mrs. Deaton.  One group worked on IXL math on the computer.  One group rolled the dice and wrote down the numbers.  The last group sorted a lot of different toys, buttons and shells.  They sorted by shape, color, type and size.
