We Heart the USA, Greg Dee and Apples!

I think this was the busiest, but most fun day in Kindergarten this year! We started our day celebrating freedom with a patriotic parade. There was music playing on the intercom and everyone lined the halls, cheering and clapping for K. So..thats about 1000 kids plus teachers!! We had a blast!! Don't you love the fabulous USA vests? Mrs. Geurin dressed me for today's festivities. Too cute!! :)




Each child wore a hat and held an American Symbol flag during the parade.








Lilly did a great job marching down the hall.




Mrs. Glover and her class marched with pride down the hall.




Mrs. Dees proudly displayed her class constitution.




Love my class!!!




After the parade, we followed a recipe for apple sauce. It was delicious! The kids LOVED using the apple peeler, especially turning the handle.




They loved how it spiraled the apple.








After peeling and dicing, we added the ingredients to the crock pot. The kids did a fabulous job helping.












We also had a very special visitor this morning. Greg Dee, CH 4 Meteorologist, presented a lesson on weather today. He did a fabulous job keeping all 8 Kindergarten classes engaged. They especially loved learning about tornados.
















Each class filmed a... "Hey Greg...what's the weather like today?" segment. It will air in 3 weeks on the morning show. I will let you know the exact date and times so you can set your DVR.




Greg Dee and my sweet class.




Mrs. Storm was star struck!! :)




I think Mrs. Robinson was too!!




This picture cracks me up!!! It says...Apples are fabulous. I heart this so much because:
1. My favorite word is fabulous!
2. I love all the sounds Owen transferred during independent writing!
3. He drew my desk with chairs, the rug, apples on top!
My kids are becoming awesome writers!!!!
Our apple feast was a success thanks to the parents and grandparents in my classroom!! The kids loved it! Thank you for your support! It means the world to me.








Delicious pie from Fresh Market. I had a piece after school. DELICIOUS!!




Have you tried apple butter?? Oh my!! This was my first time and it's my new fav!!




The dried apples were soooo good too!




The apple muffins were out of this world delicious! I gave Harrison one and he rubbed his tummy saying..mmmmm..... I heart the turquoise tray!!!




The kids loved the apple strudels!




Addison's mom helped with our apple feast. Thanks Mrs. Lindsey!




We even had time for a round of counting collections. Jahanvi did great counting, writing the number and labeling. Way to go!!!!




Lilly and John David were nominated for the Kid's Character Award for the month of September. These two display excellent character every day.




I ended my day with a surprise visit from this precious boy!!! He's obsessed with the playhouse.




We spent the evening at my favorite restaurant, YaYa's. The weather was perfect and Harrison loved the live music. Have a fabulous weekend!! :)
