Today was quiet and peaceful and we all enjoyed it! The kids were excited to see Ms. Carol again and I happy to have her back!
While the kids worked on activities with Ms. Carol, I spent some one-on-one time with each of them to complete reading and math assessments. Between hearing a story about apples, writing in their journal about a personal experience, playing a game using positional concepts, and using language applications on the IPad, they were all quite busy.
Joseph's grandpa joined us for lunch today! It's really fun to have family members visit, so don't hesitate to let me know when you would like to come visit.
To end the day, we had an apple taste test with four different kinds of apples. Each child received a piece of a red apple (red delicious), yellow apple (golden apple), red and yellow (honey crisp), and green apple (granny smith) to taste. They each decided how much they liked each apple by marking off the green dot (a lot!), yellow dot (it was OK), or red dot (yuck!). We talked about how apple trees grow in the dirt, just like corn and need water, sun and air to live and grow.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
