continued to learn about apples! We taste tested 4 different kinds of apples (Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, and Pink Lady), described the taste and feel of each, and found out which one was the most popular. We also learned about the different parts of an apple and began creating our own apples out of paper and real apple seeds. Finally, we worked together to make apple sauce!

We would love your help in facilitating the morning routine each day! When students come in each morning they should:
put their backpack and jacket away in their cubby
put their water bottle on the fridge (and snack on the counter if they have it)
use (or try) the bathroom and wash their hands
answer the question of the day
Thank you for your assistance in making arrival flow easily each morning!
If your child is staying for rest time, please send in a blanket, crib sheet, and/or small stuffed animal that they can use. Additionally, if you have not done so already, please send in extra clothes and rain boots and a rain jacket for your child's cubby.
Please make sure you update your student's dismissal plans each day through the PickUp Patrol App.
