Today we read "Johnny Appleseed" and made homemade apple sauce. The apples cooked in our room all day long, and the students said "our room smells like apple pie!" We gobbled up our yummy treat for an afternoon snack. We've been discussing things we like about fall in our class. Most of us like the changing colors of the leaves, the good smells, and the candy that comes at the end of October. Come upstairs and check out what we wrote about fall on our bulletin board!
