Labeling the Teacher

This week we worked on labeling. The students labeled an elephant and a bat then got a chance to label the teachers!! Encourage your child to look for labels in books they are reading!

The Apple Orchard

We had a great trip to the apple orchard last week...except that they didn't have any apples :)  Luckily they had a lot of pumpkins, animals, and fun activities for the students!  Thank you again to all of the parents who came with us!!

Fire Safety!!

Yesterday we had a visit from Fireman Steve! He taught the students all about fire safety, what it is like to be a firefighter and all about his fire truck!

He gave some great tips for all families:
-check your smoke detectors monthly and change the batteries every 6 months
-talk to your family about having a meeting spot outside your house in case of a fire (this could be a mailbox, tree, or neighbors house)
-practice a fire drill at your house so that everyone knows how to get out in case of a fire!

Apples and Pumpkins

We have been learning a lot about apples and pumpkins this week in preparation for our trip to the apple orchard! We described an apple, compared apples and pumpkins, investigated an apple, and graphed our favorite way to eat an apple!!
