BIG A, LITTLE A, WHAT BEGINS WITH A?

Apples and Autumn, A A A

We have been exploring the letter Aa by learning what it looks like, how it sounds, how to write it, and what words contain it. We learned that it's a vowel - the glue that holds some words together.

We had an Apple Day on Monday. We tasted Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, and Granny Smith apples and graphed the differences and voted on our favorites. We also finger painted apples on an apple tree. We examined the stem and core of the apple and counted the apple seeds inside. We passed the seeds around so everyone could feel them and see them up close.

We will transition that idea into harvesting apples in the autumn. We will pick up the autumn idea with some questions for the children about the changes we see during this season, as well as some fun art ideas using the beautiful amber colors of fall. WE LOVE THIS SEASON!!!

The mission of Adams Preschool

Adams Elementary School Preschool believes in a child directed classroom that offers hands-on opportunities for learning in a safe and clean environment. With the needs of 3 to 5 year-olds in mind, our mission is to aid and support children in their development of language, the strengthening of fine and gross motor skills, the development of cognitive skills in preparation for reading and math readiness, and socio-emotional skills. The centers in the classroom include dramatic play, art, literacy, math, and science. We believe that children learn through play and this is a vital component of our classroom. The child/teacher ratio is kept at 3 to 1 to maximize learning and offer more one on one attention. Adams views the teacher/parent relationship as a team effort and encourages parents to be active members in our classroom. Our door is always open.
