Our field trip to AHS was fun and the students learned a lot about what they have to look forward to when they reach high school! It isn't that far off!

NEEDS: AA batteries, tissue boxes, decks of playing cards and a Dominoe Game,

Language Arts: This week's story is called Johnny Appleseed and is a non fiction story about the life of John Chapman.   This story gives us the opportunity to learn about predicting, inferring and drawing conclusions. Please practice these stategies at home too.
