This week, first-grade students had a fun time learning about apples! They started by reading How to Make Apple Pie and See the World, a story about gathering ingredients from different countries to make a pie. They also learned about Johnny Appleseed and read a non-fiction book all about apples. To celebrate, the students dressed up like Johnny Appleseed, wearing pots on their heads just like him! The best part was enjoying apple pie in a cup. While eating, they used their five senses—seeing, tasting, smelling, feeling, and even hearing the crunch of their treat! It was a fun and tasty way to learn about history, apples, and the world around them!
Sixth grade students got to meet with their Kindergarten buddies for the first time. The students got the opportunity to get to know each other prior to hanging out together for the Homecoming Parade. They played inside, outside, and had popsicles together.
Happy Homecoming Friday! Our parade will start at 1:15 this afternoon and kickoff tonight is at 7:00pm. We hope to see you all here for both!
