This morning's morning meeting was lead by Ezperanza. Afterwards, we had math workshop buddies with Katie's class. We continued our study of Mexico with chocolate by writing numbers in chocolate pudding. The big buddies taught their little buddies how to write the number and guided them through it. They really seemed to enjoy using the pudding as a medium (what pudding they didn't lick off of their fingers!). It has been so heart-warming to watch the big buddies develop a sense of nurturing and endearment towards your children. Your children LOVE their buddies!
We then had fruit break and recess, followed by music with Kim. The children are learning all kinds of spooky, scary songs for Halloween. They seem to really be getting a kick out of them.
After music class, we stopped in Ruth Ann's class for an apple tasting. We tasted four different types of apples: Fuji, Gala, Grimes Golden, and Winesap. We took votes on the favorites and recorded their answers. While tasting them, we discovered some are sweet, while others are sour. We also discovered that some are hard in texture, while some are mushy. Ask your child which was their favorite. We'll be making a graph with their likes/dislikes of the different varieties.
We will continue to talk about apples for the next few days. Tomorrow, with our buddies in Betsy's class, we'll be doing some apple stamping. Next week, we'll hopefully get to make apple muffins.
I hope everyone had a good day and I'll see you soon.
