Fire Week

Trip to the fire station.

Last week for school we talked about fire safety and the letter F. Lily will still say fire starts with L. Oh well. We learned a few songs and went to the firestation, which was a lot of fun. We also talked about the color Red, and Clifford, the Big Red Dog.

Apple week

Eating apple sauce

Lily and I had fun this past week. She really liked Way Up High in the Apple Tree, and eating apples. We painted an apple tree with water colors for the first time. (first time using water colors) and we had fun tasting different apple foods-applesauce, apple jacks, apple juice, dried apples, and regular apples. We counted how many red apples we had and how many green apples, and we also made applesauce. Lily was very excited every day to learn about apples! This next week we're going to do pumpkins and the letter P.

Week 3 Apples

So we're doing apples and the letter A next week. I found this website that has lots of apple songs. http://www.alphabet-soup.net/dir2/applesong.html. We'll do Way up high in the Apple Tree, make applesauce, do finger painting to make apple trees, and we'll see what else. Does anyone have a good place to create calendars or schedules online? I'm having a really hard time finding a place to put in all of my information/ideas for the week/month.

Week 2 continued

So, i haven't been as great this week. WE're still doing leaves. On Monday we made a leaf picture-we collected leafs and glued them on contruction paper and colored it. yesterday we looked at computer stuff and colored. Tomorrow I think we'll try painting! Next week we're going to do apples, and then Halloween.

Week 2

So I haven't been as good this week-we missed 2 days. However, on Tuesday we made chocolate chip zuccinni bread and made a fall tree out of handprints, so that was fun. She's still saying L for her name, and we've talked about fall leaves. Today I found a book at the library for Mary Had a Little Lamb, which we read. I also went to Michaels this week and bought supplies, like finger paint, regular paint, construction paper, and scissors. I forgot a stapler and staples though, which I need so that we can make our little books.

End of Week 1

So, I decided Fridays will be our computer game day. We went to the Sesame Street website and watched videos about the letter L. We also colored our book about Lily with markers, which she loved doing, and talked about the letter L, and that Lily and Lance start with L. And now, when you ask her what Lily starts with, she says, "LLLLLL," drawing the L sound. Its so fun! I think next week we'll continue with L and talk about Fall.
