For Betty's Pre-K/Kindergarten, we've been delving into the fall themes like most everybody else. In September, we had fun with apples. See links below. We also had a taste testing that all the kids got involved with. There was one of us who shall remain nameless that was quite upset at us using all those apples and then wasting them. Said child threw into a tantrum with sulking and crying because (s)he loved apples so much (s)he just couldn't stand to see any wasted. After a lengthy heart to heart and reassurance from mom that there would be no casualties, the taste testing began. We each sampled a bite from each apple and talked about how the apples looked, smelled, felt and tasted. Then I had them leave the room and I had them guess the mystery apple. The two older kids guessed correctly. The unhappy child that started out the testing was by this time quite happy and asking to do it again. :) Go figure!
Part of our apple supply went to artistic pursuits. Believe it or not this was the first time I had ever done apple prints with any of my kiddos. Look at the delight on this one's face!
This one's delight had much less to do with apples and more to do with mess. ;)
In October, we focused on pumpkins and leaves. Although the leaves in our area are just now hitting their peak color. We may do a few things more leaf things yet. Bo loved transfering candy pumpkins to a pumpkin ice cube tray from Target's $1 aisle.
Betty has really been enjoying her Spin and Graph from 2 Teaching Mommies. (See below.)
Bo has just been enjoying gluing on anything he can find. Which is plenty! Ha!
