We had so much fun today celebrating Johnny Appleseed Day! We started the day by reading about John Chapman and how he showed respect for nature, animals, and other people.  The apple theme carried over all day as we did some apple graphing in math, wrote about Johnny Appleseed and made a craft, and even enjoyed two delicious apple snacks. Yum!

Bucket Filling!

Ask your student about bucket filling! We are learning to respect our friends by "filling their buckets" : saying and doing kind things to make people feel good.
