Happy Birthday Bryn!


Happy Birthday Bryn!  We hope your day was SUPER special!




Apple Fun...

Baking apple pies!
We had so much fun making our very own baby apple pies (don't tell them they are really apple turnovers!)!
Take a picture walk with me...
Ingredients 
Biscuits
Apple Pie Filling
White and Brown Sugar
Cinnamon


Step 1:
Flatten out the biscuit into a giant circle.


Step 2:  Scoop apple pie filling into the middle of our pie.

Step 3:  Fold over the biscuit and press the edges together with a fork.



Step 4:  Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon.










Step 5:  Bake (following can of biscuit instructions).



Step 6:  Enjoy!

Sorry our chart is sideways!   Those friends in the middle only liked the crusts of their pie! :)

We also tasted apple juice and apple cider!







We voted on our favorite!  

During our Apple Fun week we created an Apple Tens Book!
The children had to look at the number and using a stamper make that many "apples" on the page!









Our last apple activity was making homemade applesauce!  Our recipe we followed said cook on high for 4 hours...6 1/2 hours into our applesauce (at the end of the day), it was still not ready!  I had to bring it home, finish cooking, mash and I plan to take it for taste testing tomorrow!  :)

September 18th Newsletter




GoNoodle!

Hi parents!  I'm sure you've been hearing we've been doing some pretty funny songs in our classroom!  There is a website called "Go Noodle."  I originally found it last year while looking for indoor recess activities.  It is a collection of physical activities (Zumba, yoga, etc.) as well as dance songs, brain breaks, etc.  Every day after lunch, our cleanup song is "Happy."  Each time we do a song, we earn points, which makes our "monster" grow.  The kids love it...it's also a great incentive for them as well!

I hope you will take a minute, go on and sign up for a home account (it is FREE) and have fun!
They just added "The Nae Nae" song and you can imagine how many times we BEG for it!  LOL!

Shape Party!

We have had a wonderful time these past two weeks learning all about 2D and 3D shapes!  Today, we ended our study with a shape party!  Now, it wasn't a "PARTY" as you would normally think!  LOL!  We had small groups where we discussed each shape/food and ate the snack!  Thank you to all who sent in items for our party, we could NOT do it without YOU! :)
Here are a few pictures...
This was just a SMALL portion of our shape snacks that I could fit in a picture! :)
