Dear Families,
Your children were very busy last week. We made homemade applesauce with apples that
Ms. Sue picked off of her apple trees. The kids cut the apples, placed them in the crockpot
and mashed the cooked apples. It was delicious. Thank you Ms. Meghan for helping us with
the cutting project!
We wrapped up our study of apples and pumpkins on Friday with a Venn diagram of what
we learned. The kids shared how pumpkins and apples are alike and different. I did my
best to make visual representations of their thoughts. The characteristics that are unique to
the apple or the pumpkin are in the spaces that do not overlap. The characteristics that the
pumpkin and apple have in common are in the space in the middle that overlaps. It was
incredible!
We will be studying the artist Jackson Pollock for the month of November. Jackson Pollock is
most famous for his “action” art. If you would like to read about him, here is the link to his
ways of creating “action” art- marble painting, yarn painting, helmet painting, painting with
pipettes, pendulum painting, blow painting with straws, etc. It will be a very active and messy
month. Please do not send your children to school in clothes that you do not want to get paint
on.
