Ms. Anderton’s Class had a great Apple Week! 🍎🍏

The students had so much fun learning, exploring, and tasting all things apples! They learned about the parts of an apple and the apple life cycle, discovered whether apples sink or float, and taste-tested different kinds of apples to decide which was our favorite—red, yellow, or green! They also tried lots of delicious apple treats and snacks! They apple-solutely loved every minute of it! 🍎🍏🧃

The first Math Tournament was today at Walter Jackson Elementary.
