Fall is Here!

Dear Wonderful Parents, Grandparents and Caregivers,

As fall is coming near, Ms. Karras and I are moving into an exciting unit about Apples and Pumpkins. Over the next weeks, your child will be involved in various activities:

• creating apple patterns
• graphing apples by colour and taste
• weighing apples using a balance scale
• ordering apples and pumpkins by size
• sorting apples and pumpkins using a variety of sorting rules
• sequencing the life cycle of an apple tree and the growth of a pumpkin
• reciting apple and pumpkin poems

A poem is to be sent home at the end of next week. It is called Ten Shiny Apples. Don't forget to review the poem and complete the home-school connection activities. Keep your eyes open for other poems as we go through the school year. These will be kept in a poem folder.

Please watch out for the classroom books that the children will be making in our class. We will be circulating these books around the families. Please make sure that a book is returned to let everyone share the wonderful work that our little ones have been doing.  Feel free to share your comments at the end of these books.

Thank you so much for your support.

Sincerely,

Mr. Zamora and Ms. Karras
