Apple Day was a bushel of fun in Mrs. Ballantyne's kindergarten classroom! They learned all about Johnny Appleseed and his adventurous life spreading apple seeds across the country. Students also had the opportunity to explore the different flavors of red, yellow, and green apples, and everyone got to share which one was their favorite. One of the most exciting parts of the day was learning how to safely use a knife to cut apples. Each student helped add apples to our classroom applesauce, which turned out to be delicious—especially with the mix of different apple varieties. To wrap up our apple-themed fun, everyone completed a directed drawing of Johnny Appleseed, and the results were amazing! It was a day full of learning, creativity, and lots of tasty fun!

SES fourth-graders were welcomed at the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site on September 18 and 19. This historic site, located on Delaware Avenue in downtown Buffalo, introduced the students to the momentous occasion of Theodore Roosevelt being sworn in on September 14, 1901, as the 26th president of the United States. Students learned about the Pan American Exposition of 1901 that took place in Buffalo and attracted approximately 8 million visitors over a 6-month period. The trip was highlighted by an interactive life-size AI model of Theodore Roosevelt. Students enjoyed this unique experience and expressed interest in returning for a future visit!
