More and More Apples!

This week we learned more about apples! We even made apple sauce on Thursday. The room smelled so good!

We did an apple project that I was a little "iffy" about on Thursday. I thought some kids would be able to make them, but some might have a little trouble and it might get a little crazy when so many needed help... boy was I wrong! There were some that did have trouble, but they were so patient! I even told them how proud of them I was! Then one student said, "No, Mrs. Nelson, I am proud of you for being such a great teacher." :)

 This guy got a GOLDEN ZERO on Wednesday! The kids were so excited!

 We used an apple peeler that peeled AND cut the apples! The kids thought it was so cool because it cut them like a slinky!

 The LONG peel!

 

 He's my kind of guy! Eating while he is cooking! :)

Tasting the applesauce.

 They loved the apple sauce!

For my center we found out what the "little red house with no windows and no doors and a star inside" was! It was an apple! Then we used apples to stamp with.

 WHAT A MESS! After having 60 kindergartners paint on our tables, we had a huge mess to clean... the tables, pencils, chairs, sinks, soap dispensers, light switches... it didn't take long will all this help! I forgot and wore white pants today! I was so close and made it right up to the last 10 seconds before I got paint on them. Good thing I have a washing machine. :)

 The tables were still full of pictures with wet paint, so we decided to math on the carpet. They loved it!

 Mrs. Mayne has an apple press and brought it to school. 

The kids loved drinking the apple cider that they helped make!

On Friday we did apple centers and they got to go with all 4 teachers! Ask your child what they did with each teacher!

Bubbles and Apples

We have had our first full week in kindergarten! We are continuing to work on routines and rules. We ran out of time last week to do everything I wanted to do with bubbles, so that is what we did on Monday. Mrs. Bindl’s 1st hour science class came over in the morning with 3 different kinds of bubble solution for us to test out! One was dish soap and water, one was glycerin, soap and water, and the other was corn syrup, dish soap and water. We had a great time testing out which was the best!

I hope no one told you the other bubble thing we did because I told them we were breaking a school rule and to not tell ANYONE! :) We chewed bubble gum and tried to blow bubbles in the classroom! Only a few could do it, but it was sure fun trying!

The rest of the week have been learning about apples! I hope they can tell you about what color they can be, what they need in order to grow, and a few things about what you can make with apples!

Next Thursday we will be making applesauce in the classroom! Please send 2 or 3 apples (or more!) to school by Wednesday. (I need them by Wednesday so I know if I will need to buy some extra for Thursday.)

Math- We are starting to add and subtract already! Today I sent home a sheet from our math book of numbers and squares. Since we have our own foam pieces to work with at school, these are yours to practice at home with! Your child can show you what we have been working on at school! (These are not homework, so use them if you would like!)

Reading- We have a new sight word this week- CAN! So far we have learned I and can. Remember to listen to your child read their book, sign the back and return to school!

Calendar time! We love to play the dice game!

 We read the book "Ten Apples Up on Top" on Thursday. We didn't think we could balance 10 apples, so we only tried one. :)

Remember to send a snack everyday with your child!
