The title and the first line of this post are taken from a poem that the children have been learning. In preparation for our trip to Hackett's Orchard last Monday we did several apple related activities including a taste test of three different color apples!
Below you can have a look at the taste test (we did it on a sunny day in the Courtyard), some highlights from our trip, and making applesauce back in our classroom.
Continuing with seasonal fun, we did a fall scavenger hunt with our big buddies on Friday.
Above you can see some buddies searching for items such as "a red leaf" and "a sunflower". Speaking of sunflowers, we did some really careful looking at sunflowers earlier in the week and created ripped paper designs to illustrate a sunflower poem in our poetry journals.
Lastly, a highlight from our week was Friday's Workshop during which I challenged the children to be "Brave Spellers"- to use the words they know and write the sounds they hear in words they don't know. To do this we took to the outdoors to recreate something we practiced inside. Having already practiced the phrase "I see __________" on whiteboards in the classroom- we went outdoors to see what we could see. The children saw so many fall favorites! "I see a pear", "I see a playground" and "I see a leaf" were all authentic pieces of Kindergarten writing that we celebrated. Below you can see Literacy Teacher, Ann Knox lending a hand.
