Yes, Fall did arrive in Pennsylvania

The first sign of Fall in our school is on the day that Mrs. Appleseed visits second grade. As wife of the late John Chapman alias Johnny Appleseed, she tells the story of her husband's travels. She also has a pot full of apples, a Jonathan, a Mackintosh, a Braeburn and a Fuji, a Gala and a Granny Smith, and of course a Red and a Golden Delicious. Connie, my secretary, makes for a great Mrs. Appleseed.



The Fall colors have appeared as well. Right around our school we have Dogwoods, Chestnuts and various types of Maples. The display seems to be extra beautiful after the long wait (our temperatures have been in the seventies and high sixties until this past week).







Fall also means that our third grade is making "foot print turkeys" for Thanksgiving.

Ms. Z. does this with 20+ kids every year, so how about it Katy? Isn't this a great activity for a rainy afternoon?
