Apple Creativity

We have been learning about apples and Johnny Appleseed this week. The children have gotten to taste apple treats, do some apple crafts, taste testing apples, and create their own apple creation. Here is my kiddos creativity! There are sleeping babies, spiders, and princesses. So fun! :)

Freddy the Frog

Freddy will be going home with a child every Friday. He will join your child on any fun "adventures" you may take over the weekend. It could be a trip to Walmart or a fun afternoon playing the backyard. After his fun adventures, your child will write about it. We are working on our writing this year and this will hopefully provide motivation to practice! :).

Here is Freddy!!

Newest member of room 110

I almost forgot to post about our new class pet! We have had "Sparky" for a couple weeks now, and she has been a great addition. We have used deciding on what type of fish and what to name the fish as data collection lessons. We also did some research before we got her. We have learned a lot from Sparky! My wonderful parents made sure Sparky got to school safely on the first day. Thanks mom for carrying Sparky in your lap all the way to APS! Here is a picture of her ride to school./)

Farm Day- Friday, September 14th

We had the members of the highschool FFA come and bring lots of fabulous animals for farm day this year.  Several of the kids dressed up in their finest farm wear to gear up for the day!  We also had a great presenter who brought the mobile dairy truck from good ol' Auburn!!  (War Eagle)  She taught us a lot about cows and how milk gets from the cow to the grocery store.  Here are some pics from our fun day!!

Grandparents Day-September 10th

Here are the sweet grandparents who were able to make it for grandparents day!  I was so sad I missed getting to meet these fabulous people, but I know the kiddos were so excited to show off their room and their new friends! 

Thanks for coming!!! 

Penny Wars...let the games begin!!

Tomorrow is the beginning of our penny wars.

Please send your child with LOTS of pennies and some silver coins. This is a great way for us to raise money for our PTO and have some friendly competition among the classrooms.

There will be a prize for the class who wins! :).

We got spirit, yes we do! We got spirit, how 'bout you?!

We finished off our second week of school with a little football season fun!  The students got to listen to the Auburn band play at a football game (WAR EAGLE!!)  and see the eagle fly.  They also got to hear the Alabama band and watch their cheerleaders at a pep rally.

 We also  created our very own football players and cheerleaders which are posted outside our classroom for everyone to see.  Enjoy the pics :)

Literacy Stations

These kids have done so well learning the rules for each center and working together to get their work done.  They have shown so much excitement for the centers and what they will learn everyday.
