Teacher's Helper is in effect!

Last week in Pre-K, we started the very important job of the "Teacher's Helper". The Teacher's Helper has quite a few responsibilities for the day! The helper is in charge of leading morning meeting and taking care of "jobs" such as attendance, calendar, weather, counting the days of school, and line leader, just to name a few. The helper also gets to sit in a special chair on the rug. The Teacher's Helper changes daily and goes in alphabetical order by first name. It's great to see each student take such pride in their responsibilities for the day! A huge thank you to a few of our first Teacher's Helpers....they nailed it! :)

Apples Galore!

Pre-K LOVES apples! We had so much fun exploring apples! We read and listened to fiction and non-fiction stories, read apple poems, counted apples, made apples and taste tested apples! Check it out below....

Some of our apple books and learning about the lfe cycle of an apple!

Cutting and matching to put together our apple name puzzles!

Apple name puzzle finished products! We even made sure to include all of the parts of an apple!

Watching a life cycle of an apple on Scholastic....

Reading about apples in Scholastic Magazine!

5 Little Apples Poem

                                             

Counting as we add the 5 little apples to the tree!

Making our fingers stronger (to get ready for cutting and writing) by tearing paper....

and gluing...

to create our own red, green or yellow apple with the skin, stem and leaf!

We read "Ten Apples Up On Top" by Dr. Seuss and tried to build our own 10 apples up on top!

We almost did it!

A yummy "apple pie" treat (thanks Ms. Tenk and Mrs. D!) made with cut up apples and cinnamon,crumbled graham crackers and whipped cream...DELISH!  

We were scientists and used our senses for an apple taste test! We tested red delicious, granny smith and yellow delicious.
Pre-K really enjoyed these yummy apples! 

Do you see the star inside?

Learning about the different apple parts!

and now for the taste test....

YUM! YUM!

Each student decided on their favorite apple and colored an apple accordingly!

Our "Which Apple Did You Like The Best?" Chart

Each student voted and we counted each column....
Granny Smith for the win!!!

To end our apple unit....we made apple prints by cutting apples in half and took turns stamping with paint!

What a cool activity!

We had so much fun with apples and, of course, learned a lot too!
Ask your child about our apple activities!
Remember....an apple a day keeps the doctor away! :)

Pre-K's Pumpkin Patch! The pumpkin family projects came out awesome...thanks for participating!
While learning all about apples, we chose red, green or yellow paper to make our very own apples. We discussed the parts of an apple and made our fingers stronger by tearing pieces of paper to assemble our apples! Our pumpkin patch is located right outside of our classroom....way to go Pre-K!
