Apples, Apples, Apples!




With introductions complete, kindergarten has dove into our first thematic unit of study. We will be practicing our reading and writing while learning about apples this season. To quote Max, " everything we do in Kindergarten teaches us how to read," and it could never be more true. Today we made the first of many schematic diagrams; which will be brought home after formal grading. We also responded to apple paintings while being inspired to paint apples ourselves. We learned a few new songs and two new poems as well. Next week we will begin to bring more apple themed work home to enhance our learning from the class.



It was widely suggested that we taste test our new item of study today. Students are encouraged to bring apples to school this week in order to graph our favorites and record our observations.
