Our Week in Photos:

📸 Here's A Little Snap Shot of Our Week📸 

We focused (very intently lol) on 🍎🍏APPLES🍏🍎 this week!!

And we did so well identifying Same/Different Apples!!

We did such a great job painting our apple cores!!

We used a cool new technique to paint our leaves too!!

And then we added PIPS with our fingertips!!!

Our masterpieces are now on display in our Hallway Gallery!!

(zoom in on the bottom right to see each artist's name)

Did you hear about our Apple Taste Test?!?!

We were scientists this week!! 

We learned the parts of an apple, learned how they grow, dissected them and then TASTED THEM too!!!

Then we VOTED!!!

Here are the results on display in our Class Graph!!

Our Five Day Friends loved picking apples and sorting them into their corresponding baskets!!

We loved the storybook we read about stacking apples on our heads!!  Then we played stacking games!!

Ask your Five Day-er all about it!!

Mrs. Selser won for the most apples balanced on her head!! (No photo available for proof though...)

Our Five Day Friends also loved painting their apples using sponge sticks!!  It was so fun!!

They are now on display in our classroom!!

(Artist's names are on the bottom right of each masterpiece...)

We also loved playing Apple Movement Games!!

And Apple Learning Board Games too!!

And other Learning Board games too!!

We had so much fun learning about Alligators and singing and dancing to "The Alligator Chomp" too!!

We learned NUMBER 0 this week too!!

Ask your little mathematician to show you ZERO fingers on their hand!!

In Religion this week, we learned about making "Good Choices" and apologizing if we (accidentally) make the wrong choice.

We did so well distinguishing between both!!

Speaking of Religion, guess who has been hanging out with us?!?!

Our own STS Father Jun has been so fun to play with on the playground!!

He is always up for a game of catch!

We have been working on our Color of the Month too!

Can you guess what it is?!?!

Guess what else we did with our Color of the Month?!?!

Have you heard how cool our playground is?!?!

Did you know that A is for Acorns?

Be sure to ask your little arborist what grows from an acorn!

(Our masterpieces are drying over the weekend and will soon be on display in our classroom...)

Our Little Public Speakers did SO WELL presenting their All About Me Star Posters!!

We were so impressed with their speaking and listening skills!!

Not to mention how impressed we were with your MASTERPIECES!!!

WOW!!

They are now PROUDLY on display in our Classroom Gallery!!

Hope you have a Blessed week,
