Willow Room: MWF class

We read "The apple pie tree" by Zoe Hall

We painted using prickle balls that we held with a clothes pin so we could dab them.  We had chalk boards with colored chalk at the easel.

Our classroom hen, she laid eggs, we will wait for them to "hatch"

Look at her eggs!

Prickle balls, we attach a clothes pin to make them easier to hold and dab on the paper.

Our sensory table has the feed corn, the corn cobs and now the apple peels to explore.

 We made our own apple turnovers using the applesauce we made last week.

We did "couch potato pokey", "5 little ducks" and we did "the freeze dance" (we danced with ribbons)

We read "The ear book" by Al Perkins.

Fall bulletin board leaves, pigs, corn and chickens!

We like to use the children's art in our room decorations.  The children enjoy seeing their work valued this way.  We use it in the rooms and in the halls too.  In the Willow classroom the children have been learning about farms and fall, so we incorporated it all to make fall, farm art.
