This week it has been apples all around! Yesterday we celebrated Apple Day. We read The Adventure's of Stanley Wiggle: The Sunny Side of the Apple, written by Keri's husband Gary Jackson. We discussed the themes of friendship and trust in the book. Each student also got to bring home their own copy of the book.
In math students use their sense of sight, taste, and smell to graph different types of apples. In literacy we played a syllable game and wrote apple haikus. Ask your child how to use their Adam's apple to count syllables. Students also measured ingredients and followed step by step instructions to make a yummy apple crisp that we ate in the afternoon.
Nana Slaughter's Apple Crisp
Grease an 8x8 pan
Mix:
4 cups apples
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup water
In a separate bowl use a pastry fork or regular fork to slightly blend
1 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 cup butter
Cook on 375 for 40 minutes. Yummy!
Don't forget to send your child's Halloween costume in on Friday. They should wear their regular clothes to school.
