We spent the week exploring apples. All of our learning objectives were carried out using apples! Our letter of the week was A and our poem of the week was about apples.
Apples juicy, apples round
On the tree or on the ground.
Apples yellow, apples red
Apple pie and juice and bread!
Apples crunchy, apples sweet
Apples are so good to eat!
The science center contained apples and books. We learned about the parts of an apple by dissecting them.
We removed apple seeds and used them to count.
We tasted red, yellow and green apples then chose which we liked best. We then wrote about it.
All of the kiddos brought in apples to share. We sorted and graphed them by color. We all used the apple peeler/corer/slicer to prepare them to make applesauce. During a large group discussion, we made a chart listing how apples look, taste, feel, sound, smell.
One of our favorite books this past week was "Ten Apples Up On Top" by Dr. Seuss. We practiced identifying and ordering numbers.
We had apple races down ramps and the sliding boards on the playground.
My apple is done racing, can't I just eat it already!
