"I Cannot tell a lie"

                             What does it mean to you 'to be honest'?

            Honesty means you tell the truth...even when it is hard!

We discussed the story told about George Washington that showed his honesty. George made a bad choice and knew he had done something to make his father angry, yet when his father asked who had damaged his prized tree, young George told his father "I cannot tell a lie. I did it with my ax, father."
Telling the truth is important, so others learn to trust us and believe in the things we say.


Our classroom tree is growing! With love, sunshine and water, our seed has sprouted roots and we now have a full fledged tree trunk on our wall.
(That is not a spider under the tree...it is the seed and it's roots.)



We are branching out!
today we pretended we were apple trees.

Monday, October 8th is our walking field trip to the apple orchard. Make sure you have a coat or jacket that is weather appropriate.


In following the Alpine school District's calendar, there will be
 no preschool Friday, October 12th and Monday, October 15th.
