Monday, October 10

We were so busy today that Miss Kathleen forgot to get her camera out!  Rainy days will do that sometimes. After our morning work we came up to the rug; talked about our calendar; sang a song about Johnny Appleseed; said our Pledge of Allegiance: and sang Salute the Flag.  Then we took a bathroom break and came back for centers.

At our rug center we played with our construction set and our dollhouse.  It's the first time we've had these out and we had a lot of fun with them.  Our center with Mrs. Hennessy was messy!  We made paintings with apples!  We used an apple half along with red, green and yellow paint to make some beautiful designs.  Miss Kathleen let us play with tangrams at her center while she asked some of us to find our names on the tables and tell her about colors and shapes.

Because it was raining we couldn't go outside so we watched a video about Johnny Appleseed.  Did you know he wore a pot on his head as a hat?  That was one of our favorite parts!  Here's the Johnny Appleseed song that we sang today if you want to sing it at home.

HERE COMES JOHNNY APPLESEED

Tune: “Mary Had a Little Lamb”

Here comes Johnny Appleseed,
Appleseed, Appleseed,
Here comes Johnny Appleseed,
Walking all around.
See him plant his apple seeds,
Apple seeds, apple seeds,
See him plant his apple seeds
Deep down in the ground.

When his seeds grow into trees,
Into trees, into trees,
When his seeds grow into trees,
Standing oh, so high,
Watch him pick some apples red,
Apples red, apples red,
Watch him pick some apples red
As he goes walking by.
