The highlight of our week is our story Plaidypus Lost.  It is about a little girl losing her plaidypus that her grandmother made from her grandfathers PLAID shirt.  So we LOVE to hear the following song.

We did lots of apple projects today.  We painted apple trees.  We worked hard to follow directions.

We tried to play the game poison apples, but Mrs. Timmerman learned that as a class we need to work on taking turns and playing a game without and adult right there :)! If you are a parent, this is something you could do at home, play a game with your child.

We also made a pattern block apple.

We worked on writing our numbers and counting.

We learned a fun game called poison apple. 

We talked about the letter R yesterday.  We had to get the RABBIT out of the cage.  She hopped around and we had many laughs with Miss Nibbles.
