Open House Powerpoint
For any of the Parent(s) that missed Open House, here are some of the main points that were covered.
Apples, Apples, Apples
What a fantastic day to celebrate fall! As our weather has turned cooler and we have been observing the changes we can see and hear, we realize that fall is finally here. We went on an Apple Learning Adventure today as we sang apple songs, picked our favorite kind of apple, made applesauce, and tried all the delicious apple treats made by our families.
We learned that apples are picked during the fall. They are also a fruit closely tied to Massachusetts' State Folktale, Johnny Appleseed. We learned about this story as we started our day with Gail Gibbons' book, Apples. You can read this book along with your student online at lookybook.com. Or by checking out the widget below.

Welcome Back Chet!
It is I your furry pal Chet and I have returned from a fantastic trip to Boston, Massachusetts! I traveled with Ms. Hopfe's parents (Ms. Hopfe helps us in the dining room every day). They took me to so many great places. I was a little nervous, because this was my first trip and I missed my class, but I had a wonderful time!
While I was on my trip to Massachusetts, I visited the historic Plymouth waterfront. This is where our Founding Fathers first arrived when coming to America. I saw lots of great boats, even one that looked similar to the Mayflower herself. I had a great time at the harbor and even saw Plymouth Rock, the landing place of the Pilgrims in 1620!
Nearby, I was able to see Plimoth Plantation and the Mayflower II. I journeyed to the Old House at Adams National Historic Park. Then I did some more sightseeing at a church where two of our Presidents attended, President John Adams and his son, President John Adams Jr. My little furry legs were tired from all this walking, it was time to hitch a ride with the Ms. Hopfe's parents to continue our tour!
I decided to take a drive to Fenway Park, I liked my view on top of the car! What a time! I got to see a Hockey Game and meet a first grade Hockey Player. She wanted to give me a hug, so we posed for a great picture.
After all that sightseeing, posing, and driving, I had a great snack with Ms. Hopfe's parents at a local pizzeria. The cook there wanted to give me a hug too, I guess I am just too cute! So we posed in front of our tasty lunch!
On the way back to Ms. Hopfe's family home, we dropped by Harvard Medical School. My dad keeps telling me I should be a doctor. You never know, so I got my picture taken there just in case I want to come back! And just before I hit the hay, I posed for a few more photos with all my favorite team hats and flags, the Boston Red Sox, Patriots, and the Celtics of course!
The next day, I flew all the way back to Jacksonville, Florida where I am awaiting my next trip! I love to travel, but my little furry feet are glad to be at rest for now with Mrs. Bridges' class!
