Apples! Manzanas!

-
Fall is here! This week we learned about apples. The children pretended to pick apples and count and sort apples and they followed a recipe to bake a delicious pie. The children used different materials at art center to create their representation of apples and we used real apples to stamp. We are learning about predictions. The children predicted the change in apples when they are submerging in different liquids (soda, vinegar, lemon juice). Some of the children predicted that apples would change colors. We found the lemon juice will help to keep apples white and fresh. Also, we experimented with apples and water. We found out apples float because they are 25% air. The children sorted apples by color, size and different attributes. We had a delicious tasting party. The children decided they prefer apple juice to apple nutri grain bars. Thanks to the parents for the wonderful donation of apple products. We celebrate our learning by preparing delicious Fried apples!

Our first week of school! For some children they are transitioning from another class, some of the children are adapting to new peers and new schedules and some children are new to our school family. As you know sometimes new things can be scary, and transitioning can be hard. We see a few tears, but the children enjoyed the first week of school.    Our first week together was spent learning about the learning centers, names of new friends, and how to make friends. At the art table, the children drew pictures and played with playdough. At the sensory table, the children played with funnels and measuring cups. At the table game, the children played with small colored blocks, puzzles, and Mr. Potato Head. At literacy, the children sorted letters by color, matched letters of their first and last names, and worked with letter puzzles and robot letters.

This week we learned about how to recognize what makes us sad or scared at school and what we can do to regulate our emotions. We introduce a safe place. It is a place that the children can use to calm their body and regulate their emotions. The children came up with clever ways to regulate their emotions such as to count to 10 or ask a friend/teacher to read with them or request a hug. We introduced some materials at art center such as playdough, rollers and glue. The children learned they need just a dot of glue. Also, the children drew beautiful self-portraits (take a look at our board). The children continued making new friends and exploring the learning centers.     They are learning their friend’s new names and how to play together. Also, this week we introduced the Question of the Day. It is an opportunity to count and talk about more or less and discuss the answer. It was a fun week!!       Esta semana aprendimos cómo reconocer lo que nos pone tristes o ...
