Apples, Bats and Fire Safety..this week in school

So finally October is here...kids are in full swing of Fall crafts and learning. I saw this great craft idea this morning on blog button 3 . It is making little apples or pumpkins using papertowl rolls...VERY CLEVER! Great blog for awesome crafts! I had paper towel rolls, glue and paint...so this was so easy! I cant wait to make more!

Kids started the morning with prayer and jumped right into Apples! Molly used a lapbook about matching up apples and Zachary was working on some Johnny Appleseed worksheets. We learned about Johnny Appleseed and all the walking he did while plant his seeds from PA to IN.

We then started our week long learning about fire safety and all the equipment that is worn by firemen. Watched a short DVD on fire trucks and gear and then had our craft playdate.

The kids made apple prints using 1/2 sliced apples and paint. Even the little ones loved it!

So far, Monday has been great!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
