Trees


This week we learned about trees. Eady day we focused on a new “treat from a tree.” On Monday we learned about cherries and saw an amazing video on how they pick cherries in an orchard, Tuesday was coconuts and how they pick them and make coconut milk, Wednesday was pistachios and how they crack open when they are ripe and Thursday was maple syrup and how you can “tap” a tree to get the sap out. Each day we also got to try that treat!
I realized I didn't take many pictures at all this week! These pictures are of us seeing how many kids were afraid of spiders, and how many were not. This time we used tallies instead of using a graph. I think some of the kids were just trying to be tough saying they weren't afraid of spiders... or maybe I am just a big chicken! I guess I know I will be safe if there is ever a spider at school!


Looking Ahead
October 14th- The kids will have a sub so I can do PALS testing with them. (This is the same test they did last year, just the Kindergarten version. I will be seeing how many letters and sounds they know and checking beginning book awareness.)

November 1st- No School (teacher inservice)
November 5th & 10th- Parent Teacher Conferences 4:00-7:30- (more to come later about signing up.)
