This week we learned about apples, autumn, and the letter S. On Monday the students got to choose their favorite color apple and sponge paint a page that color. After the paper dried, I cut them out into an apple shape.
On Tuesday I let the students do a taste test with green and red apples. They each got one slice of red and one slice of green apple. I then let them come up and put a sticky note on which apple was their favorite. 
We had a tie! We also made a booklet called "I See Apples!". 
I had them read it to me after they were done. They loved this!
On Thursday we read the book "Why Do Leaves Change Color?". We then went in a leaf hunt outside and picked up lots of different leaves! During centers I dumped out the bag of leaves we had collected and let the students pick 5 of their favorite leaves. We then did a leaf rubbing of them! 
They turned out pretty cool.
Friday we worked on some fine motor skills in centers. I had the students transfer packing peanuts from one container to another using tongs. Some of them struggled at first but finally got the hang of it and loved it!
