Our Buddy Class!
We finally got to meet our Buddy Class a couple of weeks ago!
This year we will be buddying up with Mrs. Neuman's Kindergarten class!
On our first visit we talked about owls, which our Kinder buddies had been learning about. Of course our 2A kiddos knew some about owls already, and we also knew lots about bats, which have some things in common with owls.
Then we made some paper bag owls (some of us just helped our Kinder buddies make their owls, and some of us decided to make our own). I was so proud to see what great mentors our students were for the younger students. They really did an awesome job and seemed to enjoy helping out!
We had a great time meeting our buddy class and will be visiting them again soon! (First I was sick, and then Mrs. Neuman was sick!)
We look forward to getting to know our new buddies and helping them with their reading throughout this year.

Batty over Bats
Here are the awesome Bat "Lap Books" we made while we were studying the flying mammal!
Homemade Applesauce
During our unit on apples (Johnny Appleseed and Apples to Oregon text talk), we made our own homemade applesauce in class!
It was so much fun, and it was also super simple (which is good since Mrs. Cockrell is challenged in the area of culinary arts)!
Just peel and slice about 10-15 apples (lots of Granny Smiths to make it sweeter), and add them to a crock pot. Then add the other ingredients:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours. You'll know when it's ready--nice and soft, and yummy smelling! :D
