Tt is for tractors, trucks and tigers!


This week was a very busy week for us Kinders.  It was our Homecoming, apple week and letter Tt week!  It was a crazy but fun week!

We read a story Duck on Tractor.  We identified that our story is a make believe book because ducks can't drive tractors.  We turned our letter Tt's into tractors! 






Our letter Tt chart! 



Before we learned about the parts of an apple we brainstormed and thought about what could be inside our apple.  A lot of them either drew a worm, seeds or both! 



We learned about labels and what they can do for us.  We learned the parts of an apple and labeled them. 


Cutting our apples to do our own labeling activity. 





Center work: letter identification. 



Center work:  color words




Our letter Tt tractors! 


Our dot paint apples! 




More center work. 



Our dot paint apples and some apple handwriting.  They had to think of one thing their apple turned into.  They then had to write the word to complete their sentence.  Some of their ideas were: pie, applesauce, juice, cookies and bread.  






Our apple label craft. 


Taste testing apples!  We taste tested the red, yellow and green apples, apple cider and homemade applesauce!  It was all a huge hit, especially 


Our apple testing paper.

Happy Birthday Johnny Appleseed!

This week has been a very busy week for the Kinders.  

Our letter of the week was letter Mm.   We read a story about a mouse and a mousetrap.  After our story we made our Mm's into a mouse! 




Buddy reading with our puppets!






This week the Kinders were introduce to what a noun is.  We learned about people and animal nouns (common nouns only).  


Our mice up for all to see! 





Johnny Appleseed's birthday was September 26 - so this week we had our apple week! 

We learned the parts of an apple and how to label things. 


Our apple labeling craft.









On Tuesday to continue with our letter of the week - we read If You Give a Moose a Muffin.  We learned how to sequence items in our story and ate some muffins!  They were apple muffins to go with our apple week. 


Sorting out some Mm pictures.



Enjoying our apple Muffins!




One of our sight words was: to.

This poem was put into our journals. 




All about Johnny Appleseed! 


On Wednesday - another Mm activity we did was hunting for Mm's using M & M's!  They had to place a M&M on all the letter Mm's in the poem.  After they found them all - they had to circle the Mm's and of course they got to eat their M&M's. 








Sight word: a.
Poem went into our journal.



Literacy centers.  ABC match.  They had to choose a bear with a letter on it - find in on their sheet and color it in. 



Working on our color identifying. 



Ipads!


One of our Johnny Appleseed crafts.



We read a story this week to help with learning to sequence events in a story.  After we read our story - we put the items that the old lady ate in order. 




The Kidners brought in their own apples on Thursday.  We weighed them, measured how tall they were with cubes and taste tested them! 



On Thursday I also brought in some apples - green, red and yellow for the Kinders to taste test. 
We determined the color, the size and if we liked it or not. 








We talked about and listed what we can use apples for. 
On our list was apple cider - so we had to try some! 

Trying some nice warm apple cider.  




After taste testing our apples - they had to pick their favorite one - red, green or yellow.  They then had to paint their apple that color. 



Our apples up with our Johnny Appleseed crafts!



On Friday we made homemade applesauce!

We are mixing and smashing our apples before we let it cook for the day. 




Our handwriting for Friday was to name what their apple turned into and attach it to their apple craft.  We reviewed our list of what we can use apples for and then they had to choose just one. 









Math centers: Roll a leaf.  They each got a dice.  They had to roll it, count the dots, find that number on a leaf and color the leaf.  They had to keep rolling to try to get their paper filled up.  




Our applesauce is done!  


Taste testing our applesauce!
