Apple Week Two

Picture
Apple week mixed in with a little bit of The Little Red Hen. 

Morning Work Time

Morning work time is something that is new to me this year and all I have to say about it is what was I waiting for. 
Picture
Picture

Group Time

Picture
Our Morning Messages are in full swing now that the school year is moving along. 

With a large group of children and a very mixed age group (2yrs 9mo to 5yrs) we have to take baby steps in the duration of our group meetings.  Adding more elements as we go.  For example we sang the ABC song for days and weeks before we started talking about letters at group time.  Extending the duration of group time a little bit at a time until we reached our goal of a 15 min to 20 min group meeting time.
Picture
We added our apple graphing to our work time learning centers, but before we placed it in the environment we had a group discussion on the smart board about the purpose and reasoning behind graphs.

Children worked and collaborated together as they sorted real apples on life size floor graph.

They recorded their findings on a graph sheet.

Children cut and sliced apples one day and made apple sauce with all of the cut up apples. 

The following day children used the left over apple to create apple crisp pies. 

Each child followed simple recipe cards to make their own pies. 

Picture
I was so excited to capture this little learning working on making the letter A in the art studio.  It makes my heart sing when they discover all on their own the importance of letters.  
Picture
Our a apple art and coffee filter art has found it's way to the apple tree.  It make a stunning display hanging all together. 

Small Group Activities

Picking Apples 1 2 3

Picture

Morning Work Time

This year I add to my plans a morning work time.  I have to say that it has been a great addition to our morning routine.  More on that later. 
Picture
We have been introducing our younger friends to letters with these fun race track letter mats.  Children get to use a small toy car to drive on the letter and then sorts car letters under each letter.
Picture
Our older friends have been mastering their number skills with apple sorting number mats.  These mats have several different activities that can be done.  
  1. Children can use their finger or a dry erasable marker to track the number. 
  2. Apple number amount cards that need to be sorted to the right apple tree.
  3. Ten frames that the children can place apple counters to represent the number on the mat.

Children had a good time exploring weights with the activity, What Weighs More than an apple.  We took the opportunity to do some of our assessments for the DRDP with this activity.
