Thursday, Oct. 3, is Parent Teacher Conference day. . We do not have enough time slots to meet with everyone on this day, so I schedule about half of our conferences for this day and the other half will be scheduled for January 16 . If you are not scheduled for a conference and would like to meet with me before the next conference day, please drop me a note. I'd be happy to schedule a time to meet with you after school one day soon.
Please return permission slips and $2 for Koinonia as soon as you can. I still have a few slots open for chaperones to come along. There is no cost for chaperones except for bringing your own lunch. If you wish to join us you must email me at jhays@wawasee.k12.in.us or send in a note.

Today we had Johnny Appleseed day! We observed and drew 4 different types of apples. Then we got to taste them to see how they were different. Mrs. Dawes invited us into her room to paint pictures of apple trees. In Mrs. Shofner's class we got to taste different foods made from apples. We played a smartboard game about apples with Mr. Lucas. Mrs. Hays hosted a special guest, Johnny Appleseed. We talked about what life was like long ago and what apples were used for. Then we got to press our own apple cider on a vintage cider press that is over 80 years old. We learned that making cider is hard work!
