Apples, apples, apples! The Sea Turtles were busy all week learning all about apples! The children made beautiful apple prints with green, red and yellow. Making a number line with apple seeds was a great way for the kids to show their counting skills. On Tuesday, the class even made mini apple pies doing most of the work themselves (besides handling the oven)! They chopped, sprinkled and pinched the dough to make individual pies - mmm! Patterning, matching, sorting by color and apple mosaics were also worked on throughout the week! On Friday, we conducted a scientific experiment where the children each gave a hypothesis on what they thought would happen if we placed an apple in the water... Well, it floats! Be sure to ask your kids about it!

The month of October is going to be wonderful! This next week we will be learning about senses: grabbing in touch bags, using droppers to make colors, using descriptive words to describe different surfaces and much more!

See you Monday!
