Cycle Day 1 - Physical Education

On Cycle Day 1, our specialist is Physical Education.  Our teacher for this is Mr. Chad Nelson and the kindergartners LOVE going to gym.  Please help your child to remember to wear their gym shoes to school on Cycle Day 1.  This past Friday, the students were working on overhand throws and I was able to sneak in and take some photos of their class.  Enjoy!

Just a few photos from our successful but chilly Family Fun Night.  Thanks to everyone who was able to attend!

   

   

   

   

Apple Activities

We did some finger painting in kindergarten today.  We added apples to the tree pictures we colored yesterday.

   

   

   

In Math, we read a book titled Apples.  The book told us about different kinds of apples and how apple trees look throughout each season of the year.  After we read the story, we each tasted a piece of a red, yellow and green apple.  We used a huge floor graph to graph the results of which apple we liked the best!

  

   

   

After analyzing our date, we learned that ten kindergartners liked the yellow apple the best, six kindergartners liked the green apple the best and five kindergartners liked the red apple the best.  It was a fun and healthy Math activity today.

Making Applesauce

Today, in honor of Johnny Appleseed, we made applesauce for our afternoon snack.  We started off by checking our recipe.  Lucky for us, lots of kindergartners brought apples from home for this project!

We started by adding all the apples to the pan.  We thought we were going to need a bigger pan!

   

   

Next we added water and sugar and let the apples cook for a L-O-N-G time.  That was hard because it smelled really good.  We had to wait until after specialist time to enjoy the tasty snack.  

Just before we served it, we added cinnamon.  Then came the best part of all...we got to eat it.  Some of us really liked the applesauce and some of us did not.  We were excited that everyone did give it a try!

   

   

   

Thank you to everyone who sent in apples for this fun activity today.  We appreciate your help.
