A Great Week in Room 113!

We had a wonderful week! We did many apple activities -we read all about Johnny Appleseed, wrote in our journals, made some great art projects, and began making our dried apple head people. We are watching and waiting as our apple heads begin to shrivel and dry up, and then we will make their bodies.



In our skills for learning lesson this week we practiced focusing and paying attention so that we could follow directions. We learned that repeating a direction can help us to remember it. We also practiced asking for help when we are confused or when we didn't focus and missed some of the directions. Thus happens to everyone, and sometimes we need to ask for help.
We had real excitement on Thursday morning! Miss Marlowe is a music therapist who will come every Thursday to work with our class. She brought her guitar and taught us many songs. The children were very interested and all of them participated and seemed to really enjoy it!
