This month we will be talking and learning about trees. We will discuss what trees look like in different season, vocabulary around trees (roots, branches, bark, leaves etc...), who might live in trees, what we get from trees, and more. We will touch upon leaves for a few days and go into discussing apples. We will talk about different apples, life cycle of an apple tree, and parts of an apple.
We will create a community tree in our classroom that BOTH classes will add too. This will include bark rubbing from trees outside, cutting leaves, hand print leaves, and eventually apples.
I have many fun art projects planned for the month and table work for the children to complete.
I have also turned the kitchen area into a farmers market for a couple of weeks and then it will turn into an apple bakery to bake pies and apple desserts.
Our sensory table has birdseed - with plastic trees and birds in it - when we are finished we will feed the real birds outside.
And of course many other fun areas and toys are available throughout the day.
REMINDER:
No school Oct 17 & 18
