Week of September 26th

This week we began our "Apple" theme. We talked about the three colors of apples; red, yellow, and green and what happens when you cut an apple in half: There is a star shape inside. The children are very proud of our apple tree which is hanging up on our classroom bulletin board. In the coming days we will be adding to this board so stay tuned!

Here are some highlights from the week!
