It never fails to amaze me how some children keep their desks spotless with no instruction, while others are hopelessly messy even after I have repeatedly shown them how to stay neat and organized! Which kind of student were you?
He has not even a crayon out of place.
This is after I had just helped him get organized this morning!!

Additional thought for the school day: The kids can be amazing. I had one of those mornings where nothing seemed to go my way. I left my water bottle at school the previous day. I couldn't find my keys. I had 5 wardrobe changes as nothing seemed to match or be clean. I got stuck in traffic and almost missed my meeting with my principal. I was disgruntled and out of sorts and was still wearing a brown shirt that didn't really go with my grayish pants and definitely didn't go with my yellow socks. My children came up from bus line noisely and I felt the day was just not going to go well... Then one little boy shot me a beautiful grin and said, "Mrs. Jewart, I like your outfit today." We sat down, got to work, and what do you know? It wasn't such a bad day after all =)
Lovely tree against a lovely sky.
I love the redness of these apples.
Got to have my typical shot of one in focus with the soft background.
Yum. Getting to chow is the best part of picking! Nothing beats a bite out of an apple straight from the tree. The whiteness of the flesh is so pretty against the color of the skin of the apple.
Erica and Colleen trying to decide if they should pick more of these apples.
Jamie nicely holds the bag open for Cate. Those of you who've gone apple picking know that bag gets mighty heavy by the end of the trip.
The group heads on to a different part of the orchard, while I fall behind to take their picture.
