Johnny Appleseed
We had a visit from Johnny Appleseed on Friday. The real Johnny Appleseed!!
He told us all about himself and we sang songs about apples.
He impressed us all with his ability to bob for apples in a big red bucket! Before he started, each class guesstimated how long we thought it would take him to pick up all 6 apples with his mouth.
Here is Johnny bobbing for apples!

Art with Ms Laurie
This is Ms Laurie. She visits us every Friday morning at 8:30.
It is a great way to end the week!
Our first project this year was to make pinch pots out of clay.

We started with plain clay.
We pushed our thumbs in the middle to start forming a pot.
Then we pinched in the sides of the pot to form the top.
Ms Laurie carved our names into the bottoms of the pots and fired them in the kiln.
The next week she brought them back and we glazed them.
Ms Laurie took them with her again to fire in the kiln one last time.
We can't wait to see the finished products!
Last year at our first annual GALA, Oh the Places You'll Go, pinch pots made
by students were available in the silent auction. They were a big hit!
If you are interested in buying one of these one-of-a-kind works of art, please call the school.
