Over the past several weeks the children have been actively exploring the topics of fruit and pets. They thoroughly enjoyed making their own blueberry pancakes, fruit salad, and watermelon popsicles. We had lengthy discussions about how different fruits grow, some on trees, some on bushes and some on vines. We also talked about how some have one seed while others have many seeds. We also learned some descriptive words like crunchy, sweet, tart, and juicy as we tasted many different fresh and dried fruits.

This week we had fun with pets we read many stories about dogs and cats but also talked about the less common pets like chickens and mice. They really enjoyed caring for our classroom pets (stuffed animals) and even danced with them.

The children have chosen the topic of Doctors and Dentists for our next theme. We will investigate the world of healthcare through stories and dramatic play.
