All About Apples!


Recently we have been learning about apples and all the different ways we can eat them!
We took a taste test with Mrs. Reuther's class deciding what apple items we like as well as which type of apple is our favorite. We taste tested Red Delicious, Golden Delicious and Granny Smith.

We especially loved the apple butter and applesauce!


On Friday we worked on our baking skills with our book buddies from Ms. Foote's Class!

We have amazing book buddies.
Adding the crust!
We discovered we are great cooks!

Media Love

Our class is in love with new books.  This picture is one of my favorites because of the excitement they had about their books and the need to read them even before we left the library. This was our first trip to visit Mrs. Husketh and they would not wait to get there.  That is what makes great readers; motivation and excitement!

*We will be going to the Media Center every Friday so please make sure they have brought their library book back so they can check out a new one.  The more you read to your child, the more they will want to read!

*I will start to let the students walk to the library in the mornings to pick out new books with a partner.  The more often they bring their book back the more books they will get to check out!

*Mrs. Husketh, our amazing Media specialist has a great blog, http://clubmediacenter.blogspot.com.  Be sure to check it out!
