Monday
Today was our first day of school. We started with a scavenger hunt then went to Tim Horton's for breakfast. We came home and made an ocean in a jar. We talked about the 5 zones of the ocean.

They all also like our history project which was stained glass windows. We also enjoyed our anual reading of the Jonny Appleseed story. We read it e every year when we go apple picking.

We finished up school when we got home then Caiden had his Van Andel zoom meeting and Westin had his swim lessons. I also some how managed to make an apple pie from the apples that we picked this week. I have been reading a book a day with Westin about Fall this week and we've been talking a lot about apples this week.
