What a great day! We finished up our apple unit. We tasted apple crisp Newton's and did Venn diagram comparing them to the apple oatmeal cookies that we have already tasted this week. Both items were a huge hit with the students.

Today we took a field trip to Perry Lowe's apple orchard in Moravian Falls, NC. We had a great time going through the apple tree maze picking a variety of apples from the orchard trees. We also were able to take a hayride and learn about the orchard. The orchard is 100 acres. WOW! We also went to the apple house and learned how to separate apples into the different varieties and go into the cooler where the apples are stored.
Welcome to Mrs. Sanchez's 1st grade!
