Good Morning,

I hope this finds all of you well and healthy. I want to thank you all for attending the open house this week. I know your work schedules, your child's extra curricular schedules and just life in general can make another evening activity challenging. The kids certainly were excited to show off their school, their work, and their room. 

This year, one of our social studies units of study is traditions and celebrations. To kick off this unit, we looked at the tradition of apple picking. We had a great time at Adam's Apple Orchard. The students learned how to pick apples the correct way, how to make cider, and even got to sample some. We lucked out with the weather and had a great time on the trip. Over the past two days, the students have been writing up their report about this tradition.

This week's residency was PE. Ms. Ally has been working with the kids on how to play gaga ball. They have been learning about the rules and how to play fairly. We actually have our own gaga ball pit on the playground. Feel free to reach out to another family from the class and challenge them to a game. It is a lot of fun to play.

I just wanted to say how awesome the first few weeks have been.  I am fortunate to have such a nice group of students who are excited to learn and a group who loves to laugh.
