Apples!

We're working on number sense in the Ladybugs,

we're learning the skill of recognizing quantities without counting,

turns out it's more fun to do this if you make it into a pattern!

"Dot Day", one of my favorite celebrations of children's literature,

we love the opportunity to work as a community and build relationships

that include all of the children and adults at Seabury.

Our investigation of apples includes a tasting of 4 varieties of apples,

Honey crisp was the clear winner!

Our investigation of apples is in full swing!  We are learning about the life cycle of apples, the different kinds of apples, what you can make with apples and our favorite-tasting apples!  We use the model "I think", "I wonder" and "I discovered" as a way to encourage more thoughtful observations and critical thinking.
