Letter Aa, Chapel, & A Visit from the Dental Hygienist

We had a great week last week learning the letter Aa and the number 4!  Thursday each child brought in their favorite kind of apple.  We talked about the parts of the apple, read a story, tasted the apples, graphed our favorite one, and painted a picture of an apple.

We learned that when you cut an apple in half then it has a star in the center with seeds.  They were so amazed!  :)

Apple Tasting

Our apple graph:  more kids liked yellow apples than red or green :)

This is another graph we did at learning centers.

We also had chapel Thursday.  They are loving all the songs and Bible stories that Mrs. Sara is teaching us.  Chase was our offering helper this past week. :)

Friday we had special visitors from Bartlett Pediatric Dentistry, a dental hygienist, Mrs. Angie and her puppet helper, Clyde.  She talked to the students how to properly take care of their teeth through brushing and eating healthy.  They loved Clyde of course.  She gave them a chant to say to help them remember how to use their toothbrush properly when brushing:  "Up like a rocket, down like the rain, back and forth like a choo choo train".  Mrs. Angie even gave us goodies to take home!  :)
