A Peek at This Week
This week was jam-packed! Our Apple unit was lots of fun. We painted apple trees, weighed and compared our apples, discovered whether or not apples can float, and found the hidden star inside an apple. We talked about Johnny Appleseed and how an apple grows from a seed. In Language we wrote letters Jj and Pp and formed words with all the letters we've learned so far.

Looking Ahead
Our unit next week is Grandparents. The letter we will work on will be Hh and Dd. We will continue Chapter 3 in Math. Our "Grandparents are Grand" program will be held Friday, September 11th in the gym at 9:00 am. Please return a note of who is coming ASAP if you have not already done so.
Also, PLEASE DO NOT FORGET THE SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR STARTS THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10. It will be kicked off with a “Muffins with Mom“ breakfast at 9:00am. This is a great wthay for our school to earn books to add to our new school library.

Thank You!
Thanks to everyone for sending in apples! We enjoyed all kinds of apple products for the apple tasting party—we tried apple muffins, apple cider, apple Poptarts, apple Newtons, and all three colors of apples. Also thank you to Anna Kate for baking us delicious chocolate chip cookies for her Star Student weeks.
