What a busy day---but a good one! Again, no one pulled a card! After a fun music class, we tasted red, green and yellow apples. Later in the day, we graphed our preferences. It turned out that no one prefers yellow apples. Green are the class favorite, with red close behind.

We read Ten Apples Up On Top and students took turns trying to balance apples on their heads. We didn't have any luck with that, but we used the idea to create a class book. Each page has a photo of a student with apples stacked on their head (students drew numbers to determine how many they would put above their picture).

This afternoon Mrs. McSweyn, the school counselor, was here for the personal safety presentation. Students learned the touching rule. A handout went home for your review. Tomorrow we will have centers early so that students can take turns peeling apples for our applesauce. Yum!

Thanks for your quick response to my plea for snacks. The students appreciate it!
