Apple week!!!!

Apple Week has been a blast!!  We have had a great time exploring, measuring, graphing, weighing, tasting and cooking apples!

Day 1:  Apple sorting and graphing
Sorted by color

By size

Apple tasting and graphing
red, yellow and green apples




We measured how tall the apples were with unifix cubes and then cut a piece of yarn to match and put it in our apple book






Making crock-pot apple pie

We read "How to make an Apple Pie and See the World"  We retold the story to our partners using the pieces we chose.  We either picked the things she got on her journey or how she went on her journey.  Ask your child to tell you about the story.  :)






Apple painting, making apple prints is always fun.


Weighing apples, using the balance scales and teddy bear counters.  Ask your child how many teddy bears balanced their apple.  They loved this!



Somehow I did not get a single picture of this apple labeling craftivity!  Believe me when I tell you they had paper everywhere!  Now we have a hallway full of apples!
The apple pie was finally done!  It doesn't look very appealing, I know!  And a few of them took one look and said no thanks!  But almost everyone at least tasted it!  It made our room smell amazing and they enjoyed the experience and most of them really enjoyed the "pie."

Finally tasting it!

He was a fan!
And of course, we had to graph it!

It was a super busy week but what a fun week!  And they were learning, Kindergarten is fun!  Hopefully this gives you a window into our world and something to talk about at the dinner table!  No more, "What did you do at school today? "  "Nothing..."  We are apple experts now!
