HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHNNY APPLESEED!
DAILY REMINDERS:
  • Homework:  Practice spelling words.  The TEST is TOMORROW!  Read and complete this week's Weekly Reading Record, and turn it in tomorrow.
  • NO SCHOOL this Friday, September 28th.
We had a great time celebrating Johnny Appleseed's birthday today!
  • Before we read the book Johnny Appleseed, My Story we talked about who Johnny Appleseed was. 
  • We made a short a apple tree.  The students made a tree with brown and green construction paper and colored, cut, and glued on pictures having the short a vowel sound.
  • For our snack we ate our apples dipped in caramel.  Before we ate them; however, we guessed how many seeds we thought our apple had inside.  After Mrs. DuPree sliced our apple, we counted the seeds inside and glued them onto a picture of an apple. 
  • We watched a BrainPop Jr. video about Johnny Appleseed and the Water Cycle.  Since we took our Weather test, we have been reviewing the water cycle because that was a concept many of us struggled with on the test.
  • After lunch our counselor intern did a lesson with our class.
  • During math we sampled our apple food items and made a class graph about which food or drink we like the most.  Apple Cider was the favorite among the first graders!  Please stay tuned tomorrow for a picture of our graph.  (The picture I took today did not turn out very well!)
  • The read aloud book we started reading today was Apples A to Z.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL OF THE APPLE FOOD ITEM DONATIONS THAT WERE SENT IN FOR OUR JOHNNY APPLESEED BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION!
