Mrs. Moore’s 5th and 6th grade Math students celebrated the end of October with a fun and festive “Apple Bar” activity!
Throughout the month, students worked diligently and demonstrated positive attitudes in class.
To reward their hard work, they enjoyed dipping crisp green apple slices into a variety of delicious toppings, including chocolate syrup, caramel, crushed Oreos, chocolate chips, Heath bits, marshmallows, chocolate sprinkles, and coconut.
The “Apple Bar” was a sweet and memorable way to wrap up the month of October!
