Apples

This week we learned all about apples. We talked about the life cycle of an apple, what is inside an apple, who or what might eat apples, the different colors, shapes, and sizes they come in, and made a special applesauce treat. We also started our first letter of the week. This week's focus was the letter Aa.

I hope you are enjoying seeing the projects that we do here at school. It is important to encourage your student to try their best and take their time on their work. We will be doing a lot of coloring, cutting, gluing, and writing this year so their skills will improve by the end of this school year. Please continue to take time to have your student practice writing their name as we do this several times each day. If you feel that you would like some pre-writing practice sheets that focus on making straight, curved, and pointed lines I can send them home with your child. These pre-writing skills are essential for being able to form letters. 

Next week we will be learning about our 5 senses. Our letter of the week will be Yy.
