September has been a great getting to know you month! All of the kids have done such a great job learning the MAP rules, having fun playing with the toys and each other. Each of them has made the traditional paper face craft that we hang up on our walls, played a skittles getting to know you game, and learned a new board game that is in the MAP room. We ended the first week making some fun crayon slime. The kids had fun mixing the ingredients together and even got to take some home! The next week we talked about some of the things we loved. The kids shared with each other what they loved about their families, who lived in their house, and some family traditions. Trish shared with the kids all of the things she loved about MAP. MAP has great friends, games, and we have some great moments that last a lifetime. The kids made an all about me book. We learned our favorite colors, birthdays, and how old we are.  Fall has finally begun so we talked about the great things about fall. Kim talked about what the differences between fall and summer are. She talked about the fun activities that Fall brings, the flowers (like beautiful sunflowers), and the food. Trish told them all about the growing of apples, different kinds of apples, and had a taste testing. The kids tried red, yellow, and green apples. They loved the yellow one the best! The last week in September we took the classroom outside for a different scenery. We tested different bubble solutions, made bridges, drew pictures and did a building challenge using many different materials (Legos, magnics).
