Meet the newest memebers of our class...APPLE BUDDIES!

My little "firsties" are so creative! They were asked to create an apple buddy at home and bring it to school for the week. We named our apple buddies, read to them, wrote about them, and shared their likes and interests. They turned out so CUTE, and I loved having them visit our classroom for the week. Here are a few pictures of our week with our apple buddies.
