Apple Day!
What an APPLE-ICIOUS Apple Day we had on Monday! The children participated in lots of exciting activities such as sorting, counting, and graphing apples by kinds, apple printing for hats, slicing and dicing (with plastic knives of course) apples and adding sugar and cinnamon to make warm, sweet applesauce, tasting different types of apples, and much more!

| Mmmm! I like the golden delicious apple the best! It's juicy! |

| Apple printed hats are cool! |
Fall not only celebrates apple harvesting, but pumpkin harvesting too! The children have been learning all about PUMPKINS! They have read stories about the life cycle of pumpkins, the different sizes and shapes of them, and how they are harvested. We love pumpkins in Jr. Kindergarten. As the children practice fine motor skills with using scissors, properly applying glue, tearing, painting, and tracing, the end results brought a big, beautiful pumpkin patch of paper to admire in our classroom.

We'll have a feast when we are through. Now I'm hungry-how about you? October brings the harvest!  It's so much fun adding literacy to art! The October song is one of our FAVORITES!!! Have a happy day! Mrs. Carson |
