Week 3: Apples, Letter Aa, Color Green, Triangle shape, and Number 3

This week we learned about apples, the letter Aa, the color green, the triangle shape, and the number 3. I feel like we really figured out the preschool routine this week! Both of my classes did a great job with every activity we did 😊

For our letter of the week activity we colored an “a” red and glued a leaf onto it to make an apple. We also made our own apples! It was very fun. The kiddos got to wrap a paper tube with tape and draw 3 seeds to make a core, next we glued the red skin (cupcake liners) onto the top and bottom, then we hunted for sticks outside to make our stems.

We worked a lot on tracing and holding pencils this week. We worked on tracing our names as well as working in our notebooks where we practiced our letters, numbers, and shapes for the week. After doing this for three weeks, the kids are doing really well.

Finally, we were scientists all week! We observed, questioned, and tested. We looked at the color of apples we had, thought about if we will like them or not, then we tasted them to see if we did like them! We even documented our results. 

One day our snacks were apples and so we experimented some more and we all tried to eat through the parts of the apples we'd been learning- the skin, the flesh, the core, and the seeds!
