It is our Apple Unit this week!! One of my favorite times of the year! We are preparing for Fall (even though I hear it's supposed to be in the upper 80s tomorrow!) and I love doing all of the fun apple activities this week.
Our Star of the Week is Sean!
Our Artist of the Week is Makayla! I hope everyone enjoyed her beautiful artwork on the newsletter.
I would like to give a big thank you to all the parents who have brought snack in so far! You all have done a great job and the kids are enjoying them.
Also, a big thank you for all the families who have had Buster so far, what a great way to start our his visits! Your journal entries have been excellent! Buster and Ethan are counting down the days until Friday, when the Green family will enjoy Buster all weekend.
