This week we learned all about Fall, especially Apples! We had tons of fabulous activities each day to help us learn everything from the fall weather, to what types of apples we like. We also went on our field trip to the pumpkin patch! This week's fun fact is: The biggest apple ever picked was three pounds. That is nine times bigger than normal! Learning and DiscoveryOn Tuesday, Emma, a senior doing an internship with our preschool, taught us all about recognizing our different emotions. We learned about our feelings chart and expressing our emotions. She also created a "cozy cave" where children can sit alone to calm down, as well as a variety of sensory items that children can handle while in the cave or elsewhere in the classroom. Wednesday we learned lots of position words- front, behind, on top, under, next to, etc. Then we used our chairs to practice all that we learned. We also got to sing some fun songs like If your happy and you know it, and a song about spiders too! Free TimeOur table activities this week taught us a lot about fall, apples, and lots more! Tuesday at the art table we made fall trees using paper, leaves, and watercolors. At the language table we practiced spelling fall words, and at the science table we had to remember which cup our object was under while it was mixed around with other cups before guessing where our object was. For our gross motor activity we had to keep our paper apple on our plate while running in and out of cones while racing our friends! Wednesday at the science table we tried four different types of apples and then decided if they were sweet, sour, crunchy, or soft, and how much we liked the taste. At the art table we made apple trees using different colors of paper, pompoms, tissue paper, and many other fun supplies. We used different colored of pompoms to show the types of apples growing on our tree. At the language table we matched our letters onto leaves that were all different sizes and colors! Pumpkin PatchOn Thursday we went to the pumpkin patch! We are so glad it didn't rain and we were able to enjoy learning about different types of pumpkins, go on a hayride, see lots of animals, and play with our friends on the slides, hay bails, and doing the pumpkin toss. We even got to pick out our own pumpkin! The pumpkin patch is so much fun! Candid MomentsTeachers of the WeekThis week our teacher spotlights are for Morgaine and Courtney!

Weekly SurveyThis week's question is one that your preschooler may be able to help you with! They learned all about apples this week and maybe even were told the answer to this question! * The Answer to last week's Question: "How Many bones are in the adult human body?"
is 206!!! When you're born, you actually have 300 bones, but over time, the little bones fuse together to create larger ones. By adulthood, you have only 206. Our bodies are amazing!
