Apple Writing and Goldfish Party!

What an amazing week we had! I saw amazing progress both academically and socially in every student this week. Here is a quick glimpse into the apple packed week we had. This coming week we are moving on to Pumpkins!

Silly Apples

This week we talked about ways to be a good friend and going along with that idea we discussed our differences and how each person in our class is unique! To go along with our apple study we made unique apples, some with silly eyes, some with silly everything but they kids love having the apples hanging in the back of our classroom to point out to each other and display their hard work. Here are some of the apples hanging up.

Goldfish Party

This week students earned our goal of 100 goldfish tickets. Goldfish are slips of paper that students receive for being safe, respectful or responsible.  As a class we decided that if we reached our goal of 100 goldfish tickets we would have a popcorn movie party! So this week we were able to make that goal and enjoy a short video called "Room on the Broom" while eating some popcorn. Here is a photo of the kids watching the video. They loved it and they deserved it for how hard they were working to earn those Goldfish tickets!

Apple Writing

To finish up our apple unit students wrote about parts of the apple that they had learned about over the course of the unit. I was so impressed with their writing! We even used punctuation. Recently we started working on taking our labels from our pictures (seen in the first two photos below) and putting those into sentences so that we can share our learning with others. This writing is phenomenal and I can't wait to see how we progress over the next weeks.

Apples have seeds, stem, core and a leaf.

Well that is a wrap on apples! This week we are starting STREAM, where your child will get to rotate to different classrooms to do fun art, science or engineering activities with Mrs. Carlson, Ms. Krohn or I. I think the students are going to love it and I promise I will get some pictures up soon!
