This is our last week learning about apples, and we are going to do apples 3 ways on Friday (raw with Mrs. Baker, cooked with Ms. Spence, and baked with me), but it is always fun to let them engage in their learning at home with all of you. Check out some cookbooks, or cheat like I do and check Pinterest or other easy recipe places online, and pick a fun and easy apple recipe that your child can help you make. Have a family member record the process on a smartphone or other device. Then use one of the many editing apps to turn your cooking adventure into a short video that you can send in and share with the class. I will share the videos throughout the week as they come in to get the class excited about our cooking party on Friday! Here is the video my son Skylar and I made last year. We will definitely make a new one again this year for all of you. Hope you like it, and can't wait to see what tasty "apple-icious" treats you make!

I did an "Awesome Apples" project last year and it was a big hit. So I'm bringing it back!

Color Run tomorrow!!
Parents, you may want to dress your child in old clothes tomorrow that you don't mind getting dirty. Also, if your child has eyes that are easily irritated, I would suggest glasses or goggles to help keep the color powder out. It will be a lot of fun, but we want them to be safe. Remember, have them wear tennis shoes tomorrow (no sandals). Also, we run at 12 noon if you want to come out and get some pictures. Help your child get some last minute pledges, get a good night's sleep, and eat a healthy breakfast so that they are energized and ready to run tomorrow! (Packing an extra water bottle for tomorrow wouldn't hurt either!!)
Last Week's Student of the Week: Jon!!
Last week we celebrated Jon W. He is a great student that works well with everyone and really enjoys school. When he grows up he wants to be a teacher. His likes include pizza, soccer, reading Curious George books, and his fish. He also enjoys jumping on trampolines, playing Minecraft, and going to Disneyland. Thank you for being a Superstar Student, Jon!!

How Does it Grow? Apples

Kid Snippets News: "Shake It Off" (Imagined by Kids)
So this week we are doing Child News Reporters as the optional At-Home Project.
The kids are supposed to "report" on happenings in their community using the words "HE" and "SHE" to describe what's going on around them. I am excited to see what gets turned in to me, but to get the parents excited, I thought I would share this funny Kid Snippet's News Video. If you are unfamiliar with Kid Snippets, they record conversations between kids, then have adults recreate the conversation in funny little vignettes. This one doesn't have the learning focus of he/she, but I think you will still enjoy it!!
