Dear Parents,

We had a super fun week beginning our explorations of apples, acorns, and squirrels! As each day passes, the children are becoming more comfortable with our routine and with one another. They are just beginning to internalize the “classroom rules” we introduced last week, and it is wonderful to see them grow a little more every day.

Science and Art Exploration

This week, we explored using paint for the very first time! The children loved dipping round sponge brushes into bright red paint to add apples to their very own trees. During circle time, Miss Deb demonstrated how to “hop” the paint across the paper, and everyone got a chance to practice the motion before sitting down to start their project.

We also conducted our very first science experiment! After removing the core of an apple, we asked the children, “What do you think will happen to the core? Do you think it will change color? If so, what color will it turn?” Some of their predictions included pink, red, and brown. On Friday, we took a look together, and the children were delighted to see that it had turned a light brown color! We also carefully removed the seeds and took some time to study them.

Gross Motor Fun

During our gross motor time in the big room, we practiced rolling a ball back and forth to a friend while singing a special song to the tune of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat.” The children caught on remarkably fast! They quickly figured out how to control the ball, keep it on the floor, and roll it gently to their peers. We will continue playing this game in the coming weeks, gradually moving further apart to challenge their growing skills.

Music and Looking Ahead

Our two-day class thoroughly enjoyed their music session with Miss Elaine on Friday. We look forward to continuing our deep dive into all things fall over the next couple of weeks.

Thank you again for trusting your amazing children with us each day!

Warmly,

Deb & Marcy
