Wow! We have had a wonderful week! It was nice to be back on our regular schedule.  We had fun learning about all things fall: scarecrows, apples, pumpkins, and reading lots of spooky books! We tasted 3 types of apples: red, yellow and green then discussed how they all tasted.  After that we graphed our results. 

We had so much fun learning about Christopher Columbus and talking about all the places we would explore!!
