Group Meeting:  We have begun monthly math journals that we work in every day.  Yesterday, the children colored the cover of the journal.  Today, the directions were; draw 1 red apple, draw 1 green apple, count the apples.  The math journals provide math concepts as well as practice in following directions.

Story:  The story for today was A Color of His Own by Leo Lionni.    This is the story of a chameleon  who wishes that he didn't change colors.  Other animals have their own colors.  He decides to stay on a leaf  and be green.  However, in the Fall, the leaf changes and  he does too.  Then he meets a chameleon friend.  Ask your child to tell you what he discovers with his new friend.

Large Group:  Zoey and Max gave the children examples of ways that we can keep our school safe and clean.

Letter Learning:  The children sang the song "Pick Up a Crayon" and practiced holding a crayon.  They colored fireworks to practice making back and forth motions with the crayon.

Snacks:  The snack for the morning class was grapes and yogurt brought by Tristan.  The afternoon snack was applesauce and cheese sticks brought by Tate.  Thank you, Tristan and Tate!
