Dear PreK Families,
We finished our integrated unit on apples. The students did language, math, science, social studies, art, and
cooking projects around the topic of apples. We will be reading fiction and nonfiction books about apples.
Some of those titles are: Ten Apple up on Top, My Apple, Welcome Fall: Apples, Apple Grows, Ned’s New Home,
and Ten Red Apples. The children enjoyed learning about the stages of the apple life cycle and singing a class
favorite, “Way Up High in the Apple Tree.”

This month we will be learning about weather, the fall season, and of course Halloween.
Last week, we began an introduction to the alphabet. We use the literacy program Fundations, the same
program that is used by K-3 in our building. We begin be learning the letter names, the keywords, and the
letter sounds. It is a multi-sensory approach to learning the alphabet. In the second half of the year, we
will work on letter formation.
