News about comments
Hi Kids and Families,
It's Mrs. Forcey. I just wanted to let you know that I had to make a change to the comment section of our blog. For safety purposes, I had to change the way comments show up on the blog. You can still sign in and leave your comments, but they aren't going to show up right away. I have to read them first to make sure they are acceptable to be published on our site. Once I read the comments, I will post them. Don't worry if your comment doesn't show up right away. I know it is exciting to see your comment appear right away, but I promise to check the blog often so comments will show up pretty fast! I hope you are all enjoying your vacation.
Love,
Mrs. Forcey

The Best Helpers Ever!
A HUGE thank you goes out to all the parents who volunteer at our school. Here are three such ladies. We had our first 3rd grade lunch this past Friday. Andrew's mom and grandma and Nicole's mom (pictured in the middle) arrived to package and pass out hot lunch to all the students. You did a great job ladies!
A sincere thank you to all parents, grandparents and relatives who help at our school in any way. Our school is truly amazing because all of you are so involved in all that we do. Thank you!
Working on the blog!
Marisa and Maryanna are at the computer working on the Johnny Appleseed blog entry. Good job girls!
Right to Life Dinner
Every year the classes at OLPH decorate papers that become table covers for the annual Right to Life Dinner. The theme this year was "Babes in Toyland." The 3rd graders had fun sprawling across the floor decorating the huge paper with toys.

Johnny Appleseed Week
Johnny Appleseed's birthday is Sept. 26, so the class spent that week in September learning about this legendary folk hero and eating apples!
We had a fun time learning about Johnny Appleseed. Mrs.Forcey read a book about Jonny Appleseed. Here are some of the facts about Johnny. He grew apple orchards. He sold seedlings. He told fables to others.
We had a party with apple produts only. We made applesauce in Mrs. Forcey's crockpot. We sliced apples, and then we put them in the crockpot. Then we put cinnamon, water, and sugar in the pot. Then we let it cook for 3-4 hours. It tasted really good. We also ate apple slices at our party and drank apple cider and apple juice.
We watched a movie about Johnny Appleseed. We learned a song about Johnny Appleseed. We still sing the song in class before lunch. Here is the song.
"Oh the Lord is good to me,
and so I thank the Lord
for giving me the things I need
the sun and the rain and the apple trees.
The Lord is good to me. AMEN"
One other apple project we did during the week was to find out how many seeds were in an apple. First we looked at the computer to see how many seeds there might be. The research said there would be 10 seeds. Then we cut open the apples in groups. We took out the seeds and counted them. We found out that every apple had a different amount of seeds. All apples are different.
