Apple Investigations

Mrs. Fuson's class became scientists! Our apple investigations gave us opportunities to explore, predict, measure, and discover!
How tall is an apple? We measured the height of our apples using cubes.

How big around is an apple? We used links to measure the circumference around each apple.

Will it sink or float? We made our predictions and then tested our apples in water to see what would really happen!

What does an apple taste like? We finished our investigation with a taste test and decided whether we liked the taste.

The last two weeks in Mrs.Kaleel’s class have been full of farm fun and apples!
Our little Quakers practiced their fine motor skills by pouring corn to “feed” the animals, tracing and cutting farm animal strips, and using a tip-tip grasp to peel and place stickers to create our own farms. We also worked on matching and identifying farm animals, practiced animal sounds, and enjoyed reading and singing “Old MacDonald Had a Farm.” 🎶👨‍🌾

Then we switched gears for Apple Week! 🍎 We tasted different apples, sorted apples by color and size, counted apples, and practiced tearing and gluing paper to create colorful apple art.

We love learning through hands on activities!

This week Miss Wilson’s class learned all about superheroes and what it takes to be a hero! We put our skills to the test during our very own superhero training course and got our bodies moving. We tested our speed, strength, and endurance. We sure have a classroom full of little heroes!

Mrs. Hayes’s class went camping this week! Students enjoyed dramatic play activities in tents and around the campfire. They even went fishing. We used marshmallows on sticks as our painting utensils to create unique works of art. Our favorite activity was our s’mores mix we made by following a recipe and measuring mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and Golden Graham cereal.

Mrs. Carlton’s little learners have been busy exploring the wonderful world of farm animals! We enjoyed reading stories from Miss Wishy Washy and Rooster’s Off to See the World, which gave us opportunities to talk about animals, sounds, colors, and adventures. Our students also worked on their fine motor skills and letter recognition through a variety of hands-on activities. We finger-painted our very own roosters, created artwork using animal footprints, washed farm animals, explored a sensory bin filled with corn while sorting different colored animals, and practiced color matching by sorting animals into their matching colored barns. Through play, stories, art, and sensory experiences, our students are building important skills while having lots of fun learning about life on the farm!

This week in Mrs. Mills’ class, we learned about community helpers! We played bingo and matching games and even had some parent and grandparent visitors.

We learned how firefighters put out fires and drive fire trucks. We even put out our own chalk flames using water squirters! We learned about doctors and nurses, the tools they use, and what it is like to work in those roles. We also talked about how police officers help keep us safe by making sure people obey the law, and we played Red Light, Green Light.

We read several books throughout the week. Our new director, Ms. Abby, visited the class to read a story and shared how she began her career as a teacher and worked her way into an administrative role.

We are thankful for all our community helpers, especially the volunteers who shared their time with us and helped our students learn more about their community!

Professor Watermelon made a special visit today! Today, he stopped by to visit with our friends, share some silly fun, and make the day a little more special. Thank you, Mrs. Fuson, for planning such a special event for our Little Quakers!
