This Week in the Oak Room

The Oak Room is ready for fall!  It may still be steamy outside, but we have started our autumn study of apples.  We will be learning about the life cycle and parts of apples as well as making apple crafts and apple recipes.  Apple orchards will be harvesting during the month of September.  These locations offer wonderful options for weekend family outings!

We celebrated Diana’s birthday this week. She turned 5!

Our geography studies are now focusing on the world and the continents. We will be offering the children opportunities to learn about our place on our planet in respect to other countries and continents.  We will also be studying what is going on inside the earth. This upcoming week we will be bringing out the clay to make volcanoes!

In our science area, we are studying apples and dinosaurs. It is proving to be an interesting combination. Some of the children have proven to us that they are quite knowledgeable in both.

Please Note:

The Family open house is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 29th. All family members and friends are welcome.This is an excellent opportunity for your child to show you around their classroom.  We will have work displayed as well as a craft you can make with your child.
