One Apple Up On Top!

To go along with our Apple theme this week, we read the book, "Ten Apples Up On Top." What a great book, the children just loved it! Each child drew a picture of themselves with "10 apples up on top". We couldn't quite get 10 apples to stay on our friend in the picture, so we just did one! :)

Sorting!!

In Math, we sort EVERYTHING, even our shoes!! We had such a fun time during our lesson on Friday discussing different ways we could sort our class. In this particular picture, we were sorting by "oldest" and "not oldest." If you notice, one child has a shoe on both sides! That is because she is the "middle" child. This brought on great conversation about where she should put her shoes! We had a lot of fun with this activity. You may have heard your child talking about sorting by different "attributes." This was a little confusing because we would sort beads and they would put all the purple together, all the little ones together and all the square ones together...all at the same time. What I are looking for is sorting by ONE attribute. Therefore, they would sort the entire junk box of beads by color OR by shape, etc. This has been a little tricky, but it has started to make more sense for the children. :)
