We finished our unit on insects last week. We have 3 butterflies and one more about to emerge from the chrysalis. This has been very exciting for the children.

We are learning about apples this week. On Monday, we did a taste test with different types of apples. Yesterday we tasted apple butter and today apple juice. On Friday we will make applesauce.

Next week we will start a unit on trees and leaves.

We have scheduled our field trip to Howell's for Friday, October 15th. We need several drivers because of the new regulations. The trip includes a wagon ride to the field to pick out a small pumpkin. It has always been a favorite field trip so we would appreciate any parents that can drive and go along.
