A big thank you to Ilana (Benjamin’s Gordon mom)
A big thank you to Ilana (Benjamin’s Gordon mom) for coming to the Red Apples class and doing a fun and festive getting ready for Summer project! Ilana had the kids decorate a picture frame that the kids were able to take home and fill with any photo of their choosing. Ilana also thought of a great idea on how to remember everyone from this school year, and this was by making class of 2018 t-shirts! Ilana and the kids each took a red t-shirt (red for red apples) and painted on the numbers 18 to represent the year of 2018 and they also put their hand print filled with yellow paint on the shirt as their special seal of approval. Towards the end of the project, Ilana and Ben surprised the kids with donuts to eat for snack time and donuts for the teachers to snack on as well! We thank Ilana for spending time with us here at the Apple School and we appreciate you getting all of us tin the summer spirit as the season approaches us! As always we encourage all parents to come in like Ilana and do a project with your child’s class. Come and see what all the fun is about! Thank you very much Ilana!
Dr. ALISON MANN, an incredible local pediatrician, stopped by to meet the Apple School kids!
What a treat we had at the Apple School! Dr. ALISON MANN, an incredible local pediatrician, stopped by to meet the Apple School kids! Dr. ALISON is a pediatrician to a few of our amazing students and she was very interested in coming to our school to meet everyone, talk about the job of a doctor, and to give the kids a warm and calm feeling for when they have to visit a doctor for a checkup. Dr. Alison talked to the kids about what tools she uses for her job, how she helps kids all over the world feel better, and the importance of being happy and healthy kids. The kids were so eager for her arrival and had plenty of questions ready to ask her. The kids even gave Dr. Alison a checkup of her own using some of her special tools! It was so much fun. Dr. Alison was very impressed with the curiosity and patience of the Apple School kids and she let the kids know how much she appreciated their great behavior during her visit. We hope with her visit, the kids feel calmer and less scared about visiting a doctor for a checkup and we are confident that this helped do that job. We look forward to inviting more of our local community members with interesting jobs to come and meet the Apple School kids as it helps us develop a stronger sense of family, school, and community partnership. Thank you to Dr. Alison Mann for her time, warm presence, and love for our school. It is easy to say that the feeling is mutual and we can’t wait to have Dr. Alison back soon!
A big thank you from APPLE SCHOOL to NELYA (Katherine and Elizabeth’s mom)
A big thank you from APPLE SCHOOL to NELYA (Katherine and Elizabeth’s mom) for coming to the Red Apples and doing a spectacular Mothers Day project with the kids! Nelya had the kids decorate a Styrofoam ball with flower petals and stick it to a cup to make a wonderful flower that all the kids can gift to their mothers or grandmothers! The kids were very excited to design the flowers themselves and were incredibly excited to take it home for their loved ones to see! We thank Nelya tremendously for thinking of all the Red Apple moms and doing such a lovely project with their kids. We all had an absolute blast making such a great work of art and the kids can’t wait to have Nelya back at Apple School doing another creative project. Like always we encourage all parents to take some time out of their day and spend it here with us at the Apple School. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all our incredible women!!!
A big thank you to Elizabeth’s mom Sasha and her uncle Sergey for coming
A big thank you to Elizabeth’s mom Sasha and her uncle Sergey for coming to the APPLE SCHOOL to do a beautiful Jewelry Box decoration project with the Red Apple Class. With MOTHER’S DAY fast approaching, Sasha had a great idea to make a jewelry box with the kids for all the Red Apple moms to have a place to put their accessories in! Sasha and Sergey had all the kids paint their boxes with any color they chose. They decorated and accessorized the box with various gemstones stickers and multi-colored glitter sticks that added an extra touch of elegance to the project. Sasha and Sergey also handed out some yummy goodies for the kids to take home as a result of their great effort! Thank you to Sasha and Sergey for not only thinking of the amazing Apple School kids but also for thinking of our incredible moms here at the Apple School because this project was a gift to you. The kids had a blast custom making their own jewelry boxes and were very fascinated with the variety of colors they were able to mix and match with. We thank Sasha and Sergey for making the time to spend with us. It is interesting to note that Sergey is a former trainer who worked with kids for many years and when Sasha told him about the opportunity to come do a project at the Apple School, he jumped at the opportunity because of his love for kids and appreciation of our wonderful school. As always we encourage all parents to come and spend some time with us to do a career day lesson or project that we are sure all the kids in your child’s class will enjoy! HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!!
What a CINCO DE MAYO celebration at the Apple School!
The kids had been learning about the meaning and story behind CINCO DE MAYO and had been talking about Spanish culture during their Spanish language lessons throughout the week. After learning about the holiday, the kids were able to feast on some yummy Mexican style food during our “Taco Luncheon!” The kids made chicken tacos and dressed it up anyway they wanted whether it be with salsa, guacamole, and plenty more toppings. The kids got to try a Mexican specialty, “Horchata”, to wash down the delicious food they were eating. The kids had a great time learning about the Mexican heritage from their teachers and participating in something that made them feel the things that they had been learning about all week! We look forward to many more celebrations like this. Happy Cinco De Mayo from the Apple Schhol!
TEACHER APPRECIATION DAY at APPLE SCHOOL
A big thank you to all of the Apple School families who participated in making our Teachers Appreciation Day something to love and remember! A special thank you to the incredible moms who came to the Apple School to set up a lunch for the entire staff and take on the teachers role of taking care of the kids while the teachers got to enjoy a scrumptious Porto’s Bakery lunch. The moms were so enthusiastic about the idea of being with the kids just as the teachers do, and as much as the moms seemed to love the experience, it is safe to say that they were incredibly happy to have the teachers return from their lunch to relieve the parents of their duties. Every teacher left work that day with their own “Thank you for Teaching” coffee mugs courtesy of all the families who participated in creating such a memorable day. We thank all of our families who participated in making this day so great. We appreciate your togetherness, your love, and your continued support of all that we do. A special shout out to the moms who took on the teacher’s jobs during the teacher lunch: IRA LERNER (Natalie’s mom) who leaded the group of parents and organized such a wonderful day, Ami (Jalyn’s mom), Dagnia (Masha’s mom), Ella (Artem’s mom), Julia (Ilana/Isabelle mom), Marina (Ivanka’s mom), Marianna( Gabriella’s mom), Gretchen (Violet’s mom), Olya (Simona’s mom), Yulya (Pauline’s mom), Ilana (Benjamin’s mom), Yana (Maya’s mom). Dear Parents, we appreciate your appreciation!!!
