Mrs. Jerling's hobby is puppetry.
She brought her puppets to school and she let us play with her puppets. She gave us a lot of tips, like using different voices, when doing a puppet show. .

Letterland is Fun

Aa for Annie Apple
Harriet cuts an apple for her lunch snack. She says she is going to eat the skin too!

We each had a turn to cut an apple with Mrs. Webber's apple cutter! We dried the apples and snacked on them during storytime.

We looked at what's inside an apple!
We cut paper to make pips for our apple pictures.
