What a week we had...

Wow! It has been four weeks already and we are in the full swing of things at school. In just the last week, we saw all sorts of vehicles  but the highlight for the kids and me was the landing and  take off of the AirMed helicopter on our playground! We, then, wrote about our experience and are excited to share it with our parents at Parent Teacher Conferences in November.

On Thursday, we continued our adventures within our community with a walking field trip to Ream's grocery store. This field trip tied into our unit on nutrition AND our unit on community helpers. James at Ream's was kind and showed us all sorts of neat things. We saw the inside of all the freezers. Boy, were they cold! We also traveled through the bakery and met with the produce manager. We ended our field trip with an apple and a cookie to eat on our way back to school.

A special THANK YOU to Mrs. Eyre, Mrs. Brands and Mr. Faafia. Mrs. Eyre and Mrs. Brands accompanied us on our trip and Mr. Faafia provided Caprisuns as refreshment during our long walk! You are very appreciated!

We start this week with a bang! Monday is Johnny Appleseed's birthday and we will be learning and writing about him while we incorporate apples into our lessons. On Thursday, we have a safety assembly and the week ends with a Fall Carnival and Cultural Fair from 5:30-7:30. There will be inflatables as well as dances and displays of the cultures within our community. Hope to see you and your family there!
