Apple Experiment

Today we started our Apple Experiment!

 

By the end of the day we started noticing the apples were changing a little. We can't wait to see what tomorrow brings! 
 
 

Picking Apples

It's fall in our classroom! I have been working with the kids to improve their fine motor skills. Today we picked apples!

We started with really light, easy to pinch apples.

Then we moved on to a little trickier apples.

Finally the picked the really heavy apples!

Increasing the weight of the apples helps to build hand strength which helps improve fine motor skills!

Pet Shop Game

As we wrap up our pet unit, we learned the Pet Shop Game. This game is designed to help us to practice counting on. We practiced starting at 2 instead of one.

We sang:

Down around the corner at the new Pet Store,
A dog had one bone, but he wanted more!

Then we added dog bones until the dog had the number written on his belly.

We used our fine motor skills to connect the bones and our super math skills to count on starting at number two!
