This week we will be talking about the different things that grow on trees. We will be baking apple bread on Wednesday. These cooking activities are a great way to learn about measruement, counting, and following directions. Plus the kids think it is really fun! We will also incorporate lots of Turkey stuff. The kids will have homework on Tuesday, I am sure that they will be very excited to do it with you and bring it back to school to be displayed in the room. Here are our detailed plans for the week:
Monday
Today we made turkeys. We also worked on counting. In the morning we are continuing to work on crayon skills. In the afternoon we talked about the sounds we hear at the beginning of words and worked on listening to see if the sounds were the same or different. We also worked on writing our names. We read 10 Fat Turkeys.
