What a great time we have had this week! We have made our letter A art and school buses and the Frog class went to Holmberg Orchard on our first field trip of the year.
I am so proud of the Fish class. They are learning so much and for our first couple of art activities they have really worked hard to cut, color and glue. We had a sheet last week that went home we entitled "Sticker Art". I know it probably didn't look like real art, but the purpose of that one activity was to teach the children how
to peel and place stickers. There were some really small stickers that we worked with and that fine motor skill is one of many that we tackle during the year for the Fish class. We also played counting games with Apples and Apple seeds. Every activity has a purpose...we play with purpose.So the Frog have been hangin' out playing and getting to know our routine and each other. The highlight of the week was the field trip to Holmberg Orchard. We were able to pick apples off of the trees and sample a great tasting apple. Walking out in the orchard you could hear many birds....no, that was the speaker system scaring away birds so they won't eat the apples. We a bunch of fun playing in the corn and straw. Ms. Shelly became the victim of several piles of straw! It was great! Thanks my friends for picking straw o
ut of my hair.On another note for the Frog class: Our first full day of extended day preschool will be Monday, October 4th. That is the first day we will offer lunch also. Please send in your money for lunches, the calendar that I sent with the menu with the days selected that your child will eat hot lunch in by the end of next week. I need to get the count to Senior Dining.
Picture Days are Tuesday September 21st and Wednesday the 22nd. If you did not receive an e-mail with the clarification about ordering different packages for pictures, call and we can help you out.
Have a great weekend!
