We have been tasting delicious apples and creating colours!

Highlights of Our Learning
-Adding a page about what we TASTE in the fall to our fall books. Many children chose to write about their apple tasting experience yesterday. The four varieties of apples that we samples and compared yesterday were Pink Lady, Red Delicious, Macintosh and Granny Smith. Please ask your child which of these varieties they liked the best and how they completed the sentence starter "In the fall I taste...".
-Working on new math centres where we practiced One More and One Less, Counting By 2's to 20, Printing Numerals to 10, playing Race to 20 and playing Power of Ten Games. All students will visit a different centre each day to complete an activity.
-Yesterday and today we carefully mixed primary colours to create secondary colours. Please ask your child to tell you what two colours were used yesterday and what two colours were used today and what new colours we created.
-In gym the children practiced their soccer dribbling skills.
-We finished the day in music.
