Making a Special Thanksgiving Snack!

Today for snack we made a special turkey snack out of oreos and candy corn. They were fun to make and yummy to eat!!

Thanksgiving Dinner!

Today, the cafeteria served a traditional Thanksgiving meal of mashed potatoes, turkey and stuffing. We ate in our classroom and each child wore a pilgrim hat to celebrate!

Winona Lake Fire Department Visits our Class!!

We were so lucky to have the Winona Lake Fire Department visit our classroom. The firemen talked to the class about having a fire safety plan at home. Thank you, Mr. Oler!! We had so much fun!!


Each child had the opportunity to use the fire hose and spray water at a small "house"!

Everyone got to sit in the firetruck!

Field Trip to the Apple Orchard!

We had a PERFECT fall day to be at the orchard. Each student got to pick three apples, one gourd, and enjoy some fresh apple cider. We also went on a hay ride. It was a great day!!

The students learned that you can shine an apple by giving "apple backrubs". This is the apple backrub train. :)

Enjoying our Red Delicious apples!

Learning how to properly pick an apple!

Apple Tasting Day!

On Apple Switch Day, we tasted all different types of apples. Some were sweet, and others were very tart! Below are some of the funny faces the students made after tasting VERY tart Granny Smith apples!

Leaf Observation Day!

Today, we took a very windy leaf walk out on the fitness trail!! Each student collected two leaves and then worked with a partner and made observations. The students had to determine the size of the leaf and whether the edges of the leaves were jagged or smooth. Everyone did a wonderful job!

Off to a Great Start!

We have been working hard and making new friends in first grade! Below, you will see students working together in partners on a math assignment.

Welcome to First Grade!!

Dear First Grader,
