This week in class we learned about trees.  We looked at pictures of different kinds of trees with different kinds of leaves.  We talked about the life cycle of a tree and kinds of seeds that trees have.  We did an apple tree activity where the kids cut and pasted how a seed grows into a tree and produces apples after it is grown.  We talked about parts of a tree- roots, trunk, branches, leaves, and how the sap helps to spread nutrients inside the tree.  We read a book that touched on many aspects of a tree and showed how a tree changes with each season.  The book also talked about how trees have different kinds of bark, some smooth, some rough, some bumpy, etc. 

Challenge: Teacher Jennifer challenged each of the kids to go for a walk, bring a paper and crayon, and make a rubbing of bark on a tree.  If the rubbing is brought back to our next class on the 23rd (next week the 16th is the field trip), the kids will be able to get a special prize.  Please help your children complete this activity.  Thanks!

The theme for October is Fall. 

This class time was dedicated to learning all about leaves.  The kids were given a picture to color of a leaf with basic parts, blade, vein, stem, and told of what these parts do for the leaf.  A basic explanation of photosynthesis was also shared.  The kids had the opportunity to look at leaves up close with magnifying glasses.  Also, they were able to do leaf rubbings of various kinds of leaves.

Need of supply

Hello, everyone. I hope you all have wonderful time.
I think if all the kids have their own bag of supplies, that would be great. Help them take care their own things.
These are things that we need.
 crayon
 scissor
 glue stick
 marker
 pencil
 eraser

Just put them in a ziplock bag and write their name on it.
We will keep them in our classroom.
Thank you so much for your support and your beautiful children.
