Enjoying the sun at school!

Field trip to see "The Cat in the Hat"

field trips are exhausting!

working on math concepts, writing and solving equations

making observations in the neighborhood and recording them using tally marks

celebrating the fall harvest of apples

the apples were peeled

and cut up

then added to the muffins we made

when we were finished with the peeling process, we stretched out the peels to find the longest and shortest ones!

The opportunities for learning and exploring are endless in the Ladybug room.  This week we attended a performance at the Seattle Children's Theater to see "Cat in the Hat".  The children were wide eyed through the whole performance.   We also spend some time working with apples.  We graphed our favorite kinds, looked at the star and the seeds in the core, peeled them and compared the length of the peels and finally made apple muffins to go with our lunch.

In math, we used dominoes to start writing addition equations.  Later in the week, the children made survey charts and then we went for a walk in the neighborhood and recorded our observations using tally marks.
