Our class had fun making apple boats  on Friday! We tested them out in the water. Most turned sideways but we did have a few that stayed upright and floated! We also had a great time on our nature walk. We collected lots of leaves, sticks, and pinecones. We enjoyed doing leaf rubbings with the leaves we collected. This week we will also be using the leaves we collected and those that you all have sent in from home to make leaf art. We will put the remaining leaves and nature items in our sensory bin and students will practice sorting the items by different attributes this week.

Please enjoy the pictures of our nature walk below:
