We are doing lots of cool stuff with apples this week! Today,we painted with apples. Tomorrow we will make stained glass apples, and Friday, we will taste lots of different kinds of apples and learn about Johnny Appleseed.
We are also talking about the concepts of Same and Different. It seems so basic, but this can be a tricky concept. Please use these words often with your child, and help them to see how things are the same and how they are different. This is a part of the TouchMath curriculum. The younger children have been learning to recognize the numerals 0, 1 and 2. They really enjoy this part of the day! The older kids are beginning to understand addition. Right now, they are working on horizontal equations. We talked about the word horizontal today, and they thought they were big stuff using their new word!!
The younger children are working on identifying the letters we are reviewing. They are also beginning to write them, Today, it was time to practice the letter F. Several wanted to draw firetrucks, so we all did it together. I gained a whole new respect for art teachers!! They did great though!!
The older kids are beginning to work on recognizing color words red, blue, green and yellow. Today, they wrote them and sang songs using them. We will continue to work until these become common for them,
I have toasted my laptop apparently, so, until it gets better, I am pretty limited to when Marlowe can share!!
Have a great day!!
