Leaf Creations





Today we read a story called Leaf Man. It was fun to see how many different pictures the illustrator had created out of leaves. After the story we got to make our very own picture using the leaves we had collected last day.


Going on a Leaf Hunt

After reading a story about Fall and leaves on Tuesday we went on a Leaf hunt. It was fun finding many different kinds and sizes of leaves.
We collected them in brown paper bags and we will be making something with them next day.

Froot Loop Detectives



Sorting our Froot Loops by color!



More Sorting Fun






Its Fall







We were very busy in Kindergarten today. We explored various leaves and found ways to sort them. We are learning about sorting and patterns. Help your child look for ways to sort and find patterns at home and outdoors.

We sorted leaves, ourselves and many small objects and toys. Then we had a call from the
makers of Fruit Loops and they wanted us to help them be detectives. They needed to know which color of fruit loops was the most common. We each sorted a baggie of froot loops, determined which had color we had the most of and then we got to eat them for snack!



Looks like it will be a nice weekend. Enjoy the weather!

Sept. 20th

We are discussing the seasons in Kindergarten. Look for and talk with your child about signs of Fall!

Today the students visited the computer lab in the library. They practiced how to log on and enter a password. The students viewed and listened to a Robert Munsch story on Tumble books.

On Wednesday, Sept. 22 students will be getting their pictures taken by the photographer. Please remember to bring your smiles!

Check out the fun we had with apples! See earlier posts.


Making Apple Prints!



















Exploring with Apples










The students had a great time on Thursday exploring with apples.
We tested to see if apples will sink or float and tallied the results.
Then we looked more closely at the different parts of an apple.
We read the story "Let's Go Apple Picking" that shared a recipe for applesauce and showed us how to make apple prints. We washed, cut, cooked, mashed and then ate the applesauce! YUM!
