Apple Picking Time!

Johnny Appleseed's Birthday was celebrated at Alton Elementary on September 26, 2012. The students got to meet Johnny and listen to him read a story. I read "The Little Red House" to the class and showed the special star inside the apple.We had an apple dip tasting activity and graphed our voting data. Marshmellow fluff was the big winner! Thank you to all of the parents who sent apples to school with their children. We were able to use them for many activities.

Like Pigs in Mud

We have been reading and learning about pigs this week and decided to make pig mud during science time. It was 2 cups of cornstarch, 1 cup of water, and food coloring. The kids loved it. I think their favorite part was seeing Miss Russback get her hands in it and mix it together. :)
