On Friday, we will have our Halloween Parade in the afternoon. Students are invited to bring in a costume, please send them in a separate plastic bag on Friday. Parents are invited to come in and watch the parade! It begins at 2:15, head to the Gym to see all of the classes walk through. After our class has walked through the Gym, feel free to come to our classroom and visit your child. If you would like to bring your child home that afternoon after the parade, please make sure that you let me know and that you also sign him/her out in the office before you leave.

Deardorff Apple Orchard

We had a great field trip this morning. We couldn't have asked for better weather and the Deardorff's are always so warm and welcoming! The class had fun looking at the animals, jumping in the hay, and seeing how they collect and wash the apples. Due to an early frost this spring and lots of business, they took us to a different part of the orchard to pick apples. The kids didn't seem to mind, especially when they told us we'd be getting there by a hay ride :)
A special thank you to all of the parents that took time out of their day to join us!

Parent Readers & Apple Tasting!

Dylen was our star of the week last week and his Mom was able to come in and read!

This morning Reese's mom was able to come in as well.


This afternoon we tasted four different kinds of apples: Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, McIntosh, and I was able to track down a few SweeTango's!


The students had fun talking about which flavor they liked the best.


The SweeTango won! We're looking forward to learning more about apples tomorrow at the Deardorff Orchard!
