PIE and Apples

The class learned three reasons why an author might right a story... to persuade, inform, or entertain.  To make the lesson more interesting, we made "pie" to help us remember.  The pies are coming home tonight.  Ask your child to explain each piece to you!
We have been working hard learning and writing about Jonny Appleseed this week so we took some time to have some fun by painting apples.  The class could make their pictures however they chose as long as it had an apple in it.  We have quite a few artists in our room!  Below are the students painting away.  (I apologize for the sideways picture.  I can not get it to rotate!)
