Week of 10/1

Hello Koala Bear Families!
 
We had another great week in the Koala Bear Room! We have been learning all about Fall, and have focused on learning about Apples. We also got to meet Mat Man for the first time! The students LOVED hearing the Mat Man song — many times!
 
Classroom Activities: 

• Made a 4 part sequence using images of an apple at different stages of being eaten.
• Drew Mat Man as a whole group.
• Drew our own Mat Men individual pictures.
• We took a vote on which apple was our favorite, and graphed our results – red, yellow, or green. We talked about which apple had more, less, or if any were the same.
• The students used dot markers to complete an apple pattern! These were AB and ABC patterns.
