Appleseeds Begins!

Thank you for visiting! This blog is to reflect on our weeks here together at Appleseeds Home Nursery. I am excited to see how the year unfolds with the changing of the seasons. I hope this blog gives the reader a better sense of what our day looks like and why I believe play is so crucial to child development.

Getting comfortable

The apples are ripe, the apples are red
They hang so high above our head
Leave them alone til windy weather
They all come tumbling down together


The children are getting more comfortable in the rhythm of our day. They love the whole process of having snack together. We wash hands and then they pride themselves on finding the placemats, their napkins and their cups and setting them on the table. They all sit very quietly with their hands together as we sing our seasonal blessing. They of course love the candle and being able to blow out the match and later, the candle.

With all these boys, there was a great deal of "construction" this week. Roads were made, trucks were built, the car was put into action. Little hands were constantly working with sand, water, scrubbers, pumps and watering cans, driving, digging. 

In the quieter moments, the children have been listening to me tell them about the very first apple tree who started to grow. No matter how hard the tree tried, it could not touch the stars. Luckily, a fairy comes to it's aid and flies up to fetch some stars for the tree. But by the time the fairy returns, apples are growing on the tree and it is happy enough with her "apple children". So the fairy kisses each apple child and puts a star inside. Then I show the children an apple cut crosswise to reveal the star.
