Update on Our Apple Theme

September is flying by (If the rest of the fall is like this baby D will be here before we know it!) and we are studying apples.  I have found that a monthly theme (rather than biweekly) is working out best.  We have also started library story time and dance class so we are busy!

A few weeks ago, I participated in a Scholastic Magazine focus group and in exchange, we got subscriptions to Clifford and Let's Find Out magazines along with some other goodies!

I loved using the Let's Find Out magazine when I taught kindergarten, so I jumped right in to using the Scholastic Magazines with E.  This month, they covered apples, which was perfect for our homeschool preschool theme!

We learned about apple trees and how they change through the seasons. 

We have also been using Handwriting Without Tears techniques to correct E's pencil grip.  It's working so well!

I am not being asked to write about these products by HWT or Scholastic.  I am choosing to do so because I love them as a teacher and a mom!
