September 28th - October 2nd, 2026: Apples (Week 2!)

Happy Friday, Firefly Families!

This week we completed our apple unit. We read Apple Picking Day, Peppa Goes Apple Picking, Apple Farmer Annie, and Apple Pie Tree. We played with apple pie playdough, stamped apples using red, green and yellow paint, finished our apple measuring class book, learned how to make Mat Man and drew him in our journals and did an ABC apple hunt around our classroom. Our favorite part of the week was making yummy cinnamon applesauce together! Our HWT letter of the week was I. 

The Little Appleseed Poem (to the tune of Itsy Bitsy Spider)

First a little appleseed 

was planted in the ground.

Down came the raindrops 

falling all around.

Out came the sun 

bright as bright could be.

And that little appleseed

grew up to be an apple tree!
