Dear Families,
We are learning about apple this week. We will be doing lots of fun science experiments with apples and math activities. We will be sorting apples by size and color, stamping patterns with apples, graphing our favorite way to eat an apple, and measuring with apples. We have two fun apple experiments planned for science… apple volcano and germy apple. Please make sure your child brings one or two apples to school starting Monday, Oct. 2nd. This week in Second Step (our social emotional learning curriculum) we will be focusing on self talk for staying on task. Don’t forget to turn in your Pumpkin Patch permission slip.
Happy Apple Picking,
The Kindergarten Team
