• We took a vote on what we should bake with apples.  Apple pie had the most votes.

• The pie baking begins. First we all wash our hands.  Mrs. Dumville pre-made the tops and bottom crusts at home.  We peeled and diced the apples, added brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, sugar and a little flour. We mixed this up and put our pie crust in the bottom of the pan, added a scoop of filling, a drop of butter and placed the top crust on the pie.  We took a fork and went around the edges.  Mrs.Dumville made our initial on the pie and took them to Mr. Acorn to bake for us.  We got to eat our pie after big recess.  Most students really enjoyed their pie!

• We as a class brainstormed to what sitting on the mat should look and sound like.  Mrs. Dumville took some pictures and now we remember what to do on the mat at circle time.

• Here we are following the directions we decided about how we are supposed to sit on the mat. Mrs. Dickieson, the K-6 Language Arts/Social Studies Innovation Leader with The Department of Education,Early Learning and Culture was into visit the class on Friday and discuss how we did this learning and was it helpful.  She took some pictures and recorded their responses.
