Smart Apples

The past week we learned about leaves and pumpkins through remote learning. We learned about leaves changing colors and we can sort them by color and shapes. The children collected leaves and created beautiful collages or leaves museums. Also, we learned that pumpkins can be different sizes and some colors are yellow, green and white. The children use words to describe a pumpkin. The children used seesaw to practice some skills such as: sorting letters, answering WH questions, comparing sizes and listening to stories.   Friday was an exciting day!
