Wednesday

Autumn, our Literacy Specialist came to our room this morning and read The Pumpkin Book by Gail Gibbons and The Biggest Pumpkin Ever by Steven Kroll. The children did a great job listening and foreshadowing what was going to happen next in the books. We had music with Kim after fruit break. When the children returned from music class, we read a classic Nursery Rhyme called If All The World Were Apple Pie.

If All The World Were Apple Pie

If all the world were apple pie,

And all the sea were ink,

And all the trees were bread and cheese,

What would we have to drink?

We then colored a picture of the world as an apple pie and drew trees made of bread and cheese. I then asked the children to think of what they would have to drink if they couldn't have water. Responses I got were : cranberry juice, apple juice, orange juice, cran-raspberry juice, and chocolate milk. These were great responses! I then wrote the children's words at the bottom of their picture. They're hanging up for everyone to see, so come in and take a look!
