September 2023
Mat Man Activity. First we watched the video, then I demonstrated by how to assemble Mat Man . Next the children were each given a piece of Mat Man to assemble as a group. This was so they can see and learn how to draw a person. We will be doing monthly self-portraits, which you will see how their drawing skills have improved throughout the year.
We learned about apples the last two weeks in September.
Pre-K students learned:
- That apples grow on apple trees.
- That there are many different kinds of apples.
- That we can make apple sauce, apple juice, apple pie and apple donuts from apples.
- That apple seeds should be planted in soil and given sunlight and water to grow.
We made and tasted applesauce one day and the next we made apple cider donuts. I think they were enjoyed by everyone. We tasted apples to see if we like red, green or yellow apples better.
We listened to many stories about apples. Some of the stories were:
The Apple Pie Tree by Zoe Hall
The Biggest Apple Ever by Steven Kroll
I am An Apple by Jean Marzullo
Apples by Melvin and Gilda Berger
Little Mouse and the Big Red Apple By A.H. Benjamin
