BEGINNING THE HARVEST
Last Friday we harvested the apples from the trees just outside our classroom door. We were amazed to see just how many there were. Although they are not the prettiest apples we have ever seen, we thought they were tasty. This week we will try making applesauce with them in the hopes we can serve it at lunch. Does anyone have an applesauce grinder? Isabel says her family does and she was willing to bring it in tomorrow. If anyone else does, feel free to send it in tomorrrow.
During conferences, I mentioned I would like each individual to set an academic goal for this trimester. I would like each child to discuss possible ideas for his/her goal for this trimester. Please help your child be specific. For example, “I want to be a better reader” is not specific enough. It would be difficult to measure and/or prove. However, “I would like to improve my timed fluency test” is measurable and improvement can clearly be noted.
