 This week we discussed the letter E, the color blue, leaves and fall, and ocean creatures.  The kids created an “ocean tube” to observe the dynamics of waves.  We also dissected an apple, naming the parts, predicting the number of seeds, and tasting both apples and applesauce.  We then created an apple book with different textures inside.  We talked about healthy foods and decided what is healthy and unhealthy; we finished up by creating a plate collage with healthy foods.  The older children wrote postcards and we discussed how they are mailed.  We then created postcards for our families and mailed them in the mailbox.  We made nature art with leaves, sticks, and other outdoor stuff.  And finally, we created an itsy bitsy ocean book and created a sea star watercolor picture.
