Wow! I can't believe it's November already.  Last month was such a busy month it really flew right by. We went to the pumpkin patch, watched two plays, had a pep rally, kicked off the Recycle Bowl, and ended by having the Aggie football players come read to us on Friday. Whew!!!

Tomorrow, November 6th we will be having our very own election here at APS. Students will vote for their favorite mascot. The Chick-fil-A cow or Sparky the Dog. Today one of the candidates visited our school. Sparky the dog came by and we got our picture made with him. Thanks Sparky!!

Fall is here! I can't believe how quickly the weather has turned cooler. This is my favorite time of year. I hope everyone had a great weekend and is ready for a fantastic week at school. Reminder: This is Homecoming week. Everyone should have gotten a note about dress-up days Wednesday-Friday. Let's show our Aggie Spirit!! Go Aggies!!!!

Johnny Appleseed Week

This week we are celebrating Johnny Appleseed's birthday. Ask your child some facts they learned about Johnny Appleseed. We made an anchor chart today of facts we have learned and made cute little apples to decorate around it. I will post a picture soon.

Remember to send in your decorated apple for the apple project. We have a ghost and 2 jack-o-lanterns so far. I will post pictures at the end of the week of our creative apples.

Also, don't forget to send an apple with your child. We will doing an Apple Investigation during math one day.
