Celebrating Johnny Appleseed, Part 2

 Greetings! I hope everyone had a fantastic week! Our Friday was quite exciting in First Grade. 

We learned about apples all week and waited for today's apple fun. We made homemade applesauce! The students had so much fun doing this. They helped add the apples, sugar, water, and cinnamon. They waited patiently for it to cook and loved how our room smelled. Here is how our apples looked after everything was added: 


After making our applesauce, we returned to our learning. In Religion class we wrapped up our chapter on the early life of Jesus before his public ministry. 

We also wrapped up another week of learning in Language Arts. We used our oral vocabulary words in sentences, read short o words, put words in ABC order, and wrote sentences using our sight words. We also took our weekly assessment. 

In Math class today, we used number bonds to write addition sentences. We looked at a picture, filled in the number bond, and then wrote the addition sentence using the number bond. We also learned that we can add in any order. 

In Science class today, we learned that insects have 3 body parts (head, thorax, abdomen) and 6 legs. We used our Play-Doh to make an insect. 

After all of that hard work, it was time to eat our applesauce. For those who wanted it, they were given a bowl of our warm applesauce. They all enjoyed it. I loved seeing their happy faces. Here is a bowl for you to see: 


After eating our applesauce, we made a scarecrow in Art class using paper plates and construction paper. Here are some of the completed projects: 



Have a great weekend!
