Johnny Appleseed

Today is Johnny Appleseed Day!  We celebrated his birthday by writing our own applesauce recipes, making homemade applesauce with 1H, reading books about Johnny Appleseed and talking about many ways we can be generous, just like Johnny.  

Our applesauce recipe:
4 medium apples
1/2 water
1/4 cup sugar
cinnamon

I'm sure you've already heard, but our caterpillars have spun their cocoons and we are patiently waiting for our butterflies to arrive!  Keep asking your first grader to share his or her new learning about this amazing transformation!  

We also logged onto ScootPad for the first time today.  The students now know how to log on and generate and launch reading and math practice.  This is a great way to practice the skills we've worked on or that we will get to later in the year.  There is a laminated log in card in your child's take home folder with his or her user id and password.  Please let me know if you have any questions.
