Hip Hip Hooray! It's Fall Fun Day!!!

To celebrate the end of the first quarter of first grade we had a Fun Fall Day! Each first grade teacher taught a fall-themed lesson and the classes rotated down the hallway:) Although several students told their parents they were "not going to work or learn anything all day...just play", we DID manage to squeeze some new knowledge into our brains. I did a read aloud where we discussed the similarities and differences between making apple sauce and making apple pie. Then students did a sequencing activity where they put pictures in order to show how apple trees turn into apple pies. Students loved seeing pictures of the beautiful pink blossoms on the apple trees.

We also planted pansies outside our classroom with Mrs. Donaldson....

Mrs. Butler helped us investigate which fall solids sink and which solids float...

While students were rotating through the classrooms...our homemade applesauce was cooking away and making our room smell DELICIOUS!!!!

After all of that LEARNING...we needed a break!

FINALLY the applesauce was ready! They loved it!!! (and wanted seconds and thirds...)

As if we didn't have enough to celebrate...did I mention our class won the Golden Spatula Award the MOST for the 1st quarter...earning us a special dessert???? Well we did...

And this day wouldn't be complete without my track-out shoes...

Happy Track-Out!!!!!!!!!!
