This week went SO fast..... but before we get to that...thank you to all the families who joined us at the open house last week. What a great turnout!!! If you haven't signed up for a Student Spotlight Week yet, please go to our Student Spotlight page to see what weeks are still available and let us know which one you would like to sign up for.
We have gotten lots of leaves back for our October bulletin board. See how awesome it looks?! If your child hasn't had a chance to bring his/hers back, there is still time. Also, if you need a new one, please let us know.
On Monday we made another page for our "Person Book". Each month we draw a picture of ourselves and write our names. These drawings are compiled in a book that you will receive at graduation. It's a great way to see your child's progress through the year.
Tuesday we were detectives!
We investigated apples!!
We figured out:
- what color the skin was
- whether it had a stem or not
- how many cubes it weighed
- how many cubes high it was
- what it looked like inside.
Wednesday we learned about the inside and outside of an apple and did large motor skills groups. This involves us doing obstacle course-type movements and is super fun!!
Thursday we tasted a number of different kinds of apples and apple flavored foods including red, yellow & green apples, applesauce, apple butter, and an apple cereal bar. It was fun to see how many of our friends liked the same apple-flavored items as us.
We have some exciting events coming up...
- Thursday, Oct. 11 - The Edgerton Firefighters and one of their trucks are coming to talk to us about fire safety.
- Wednesday, Oct. 17 - Field trip to Hermanson's Pumpkin Patch - Be sure to return the permission slip that we sent home this week in your child's red folder.
- Wednesday, Oct. 31 - Costume Party - Be sure to read the costume requirements in this week's newsletter.
