Johnny Appleseed Day

Today we celebrated Johnny Appleseed's Birthday. It started with a visit from the Apple Man himself! It was very exciting to hear of his tales especially of wearing just one shoe. We then made necklaces out of Apple Jacks right before going to lunch. Finally we had an Apple Tasting Fair where we sampled all different kinds of apples: applesauce, dried apples, whole red and yellow apples, apple pies, and apple juice to wash it all down. We had a great "applicious" day!

Here is the class wearing their Apple Jacks necklaces along with some great apple smiles!

At Work

After the long, restful Labor Day weekend, the students came back to school ready to work! Here they are in action during our Center Time.

Kayla read a book in the classroom library.

India played a short vowel game with a visitor from Ms. Adams' class.

Elicia and Saana worked on their writing skills in the Writing Center.

Bradley and Ty played a game on the computers.

Heaven and Linnea watched a book on video during their Listening Center time.

We had a great day back at school and hope for many more fun days in First Grade like this one!
