We had such an awesome day today, I don't even know if I will be able to remember what great things we did. First off, this morning we had 3 jobs to do and ALL of the students did a great job of managing their time to get all of their work done. While everyone worked at their own pace and all of the tables were working on something different, everyone did their very best work and got the job(s) done!
This afternoon, we had a listening activity where the students needed to listen to the two different sounds the letter G can make. It can make a hard G sound like in the words "girl, gate, and goat" or it can make a softer G sound (which sounds more like J) in words like "gingerbread, general, and giant." Everyone did listened very well, got their work done, and we were able to do it in a timely manner.
After we had finished all of the 'work' for the afternoon, we had some more fun exploring further into the world of apples! Today we weighed our apples on a balancing scale and compared them to small wooden blocks. The students then wrote this information in their Apple Books and drew a picture of the scale. I can't wait until tomorrow when they have to measure how fat their apple is; it should be interesting.
For snack, I brought in some apple cider for the students to try. They were very excited, but also curious to see what apple cider was and why it was so cloudy. I explained that apple cider is a kind of apple juice that is usually severed hot. It is cloudy or "murky" because of the cinnamon they put in it to add more flavor.
