Apples and Stars

Today we continued to learn all about APPLES!

We learned that:

• Apples grow on trees - Kyran
• There are all different kinds of apples - Jessica
• Every apple has a different taste - Krystal
• Apples taste good - Mercedez
• Apples have a core - Kiera
• Apples have skin - Annabelle
• Apples have a stem - Kiara
• I like the taste of the Granny Smith apple - Piper
• Apples grow from the crown of the tree - Delilah

We tasted 6 different kinds of apples. We made a graph of our favourite apples.

Kyran was our Star of the Week the week.  He shared some of this favourite things, showed us his pictures and then we wrote about him.

Great job Kyran!!

Names

Today we read a book called "Chrysanthemum" by Kevin Henkes.


*It started off sad and then got happy.  In the beginning of the story everyone was making fun of Chrysanthemum's name.  Then the music teacher told her that her name was special. Then Chrysanthemum felt happy.

We talked about how this book reminded us of other books we've read including "Unlovable" and "Sweet Briar."

Then we counted how many letters are in each of our names.
We made a graph.

We practiced writing our names the "Kindergarten Way"(with a capital letter first, followed by all lowercase letters).

*(Written as a shared writing experience by the students in Room 8)

"We had fun doing our names" Kiera

"It was fun putting our names on the graph" - Kiara

"I felt happy when I wrote my name" - Ashton
