A Recap of our First Few Weeks

We're off to a great start in 4K!  We began the year spending a lot of time getting to know our environment and our new friends.  Our first theme was, "All About Me."  We talked a lot about our similarities and differences, and did lots of comparing and contrasting.  We focused on our names and the letters and sounds in them.

We played in Centers,

learned how to get in a line,

had lots of fun playing on the playground,

created and learned together,

and read great books with both our "book buddies" and

our human buddies.

The next week's theme was "Apples."  we learned about the parts of apples, where they come from, and that there are different varieties.  We graphed the colors of the apples we brought in from home and if we did or did not like a variety of different apple samples.  We made necklaces out of Apple Jacks, made a class book modeled after the favorite book 10 Apples Up on Top, and did many other apple-related activities.  Our favorite activity was definitely when we made and ate our own apple pies.  Yummy!
