Tuesday

     We had a quick morning meeting lead by Henry this morning. We then we wrapped up our apple unit by baking apple muffins! I've added pictures to the right - check them out! We talked about the different ingredients we were adding and what the difference between wet ingredients and dry ingredients was. We then each took a turn stirring and I scooped them into the muffin pan. The children then had fruit break and recess followed by drama class and Spanish class. In drama, the children read and acted out The Little Old Lady who wasn't Afraid of Anything by Linda Williams. I believe they each got to act out several parts so if you ask your child which character they were, they may answer with more than one.
     While the children were in their enrichment classes, I put the muffins in the oven. By the time they had arrived back to class, the muffins were cooled and ready to be eaten. The children were so eager to eat them they could hardly wait. We all gobbled them up (must have been good, huh?), and even saved one for Holly. The verdict was in...they passed the 3 & 4 year-old test! We finished up just in time for recess.
     During lunch, we had a fire drill today. You may hear about it because it was the first time we've had one by surprise. All of the others were planned and the teachers were aware they were happening. It caused quite a commotion! Ashlynn ended up with yogurt all in her hair and on her shirt and Dawson lost a boot. Needless to say, we all made it out. Whew!

YUM!

• Just a heads up, I will not be here tomorrow. Lynn is my substitute and all of the children know her. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I've also told the children so they're prepared as well.
• Also, BIG THANKS to Susie, Sylvia's mom, for coming in to read to us last Friday. The children loved sharing that time with you and can't wait for you to come back. 

See you all Thursday!
