Apple Day was a lot of fun! The children enjoyed the centers set up around the room. We did a variety of activities such as playing a math game, tasting apples and graphing our favorites, reading about Johnny Appleseed, and cutting apples for applesauce. Thank you to all the moms who came in to help!
After lunch, the children put on their costumes, passed out treats, and got ready to join the Henry Ford Halloween Parade!
We are enjoying new dry erase boards purchased for us by Board members of the Dearborn Education Foundation. A big thank you to them!
Halloween is Friday, October 31. Students may bring their costume to school in a bag and put it on after lunch. If your child’s costume comes with a weapon, please have them leave the weapon at home.
We will have a school Halloween parade at 2:00. If students would like to bring a treat to share, it should be individually wrapped.
