If your child won't eat dinner tonight, it's probably my fault. At the end of the day, we had apple cider, apple pie, and our "applesauce" (I put that in quotes because I didn't have a masher--it was just chunks of apple). We began the day by peeling apples. As the rest of the class read My Rr Book to 3 classmates, 2 students went to the reading table to peel an apple. We took turns until everyone had a chance to peel at least one apple.

After lunch. students made food prints. Each table was set up with paints and a different food (apples, broccoli, potatoes, celery/carrots). Students rotated from table to table to make prints of each food. We watched the DVD Click Clack Moo, Cows That Type (Mrs. Swan used this book for a lesson on Wednesday). It is rather timely as I have recently added a typewriter center, so the students are learning how to use a manual typewriter.

Monday is the first day of Red Ribbon week. In your Monday envelope, you'll receive a list of what to wear each day, but I thought I'd let you know that Monday is wear a lei day, to remember to lay off drugs. Tuesday is the first day of sign language club. The younger group will meet in my classroom. The students who get out later, the older group, will meet in the gym. Have a great weekend!
