Fun with Apples

Apple week in our room was quite a success! We are truly learning so much and making great progress every week! Being this crew's teacher is such a joy. 

Our apple week brought with it lots of hands-on fun! We used apples to do paint printing and also painted apple cores to discuss the parts of an apple. We had a blast with "apple bobbing" with tongs, all the while practicing turns nicely, following directions, sorting colors, comparing, and counting. We also got to taste test different types of apples and create a graph of our favorites. And one of our very favorite activities was trying out apple pie!

To go along with this week, we also read several apples books, including Up! Up! Up! It's Apple Picking Time and Apple Countdown. We focused on the letter A, sorting uppercase and lowercase letters, tracing the letter, and finding the letter in books. We continued to do our table trading, focusing on counting to four, writing the numbers, matching pictures, and tracing patterns. 

We are becoming great friends in our room! We look forward to being back together this coming week!

Printing with apples is messier

the perfect letter A!




Jace embraced the challenge of
sorting as fast as he could!




We are letter A experts!





Katelyn was very focused on picking
the right apple!







Jace had a blast with the water table!

1, 2, 3! How many apples on your
play dough tree?


Jayden found all the matches quickly!




We are quite creative in our class!





Noah was a great construction
worker this week!



Deciding on a favorite color apple
for our apple graph proved rather difficult!

We are learning to play together so nicely!


Yay for reading! Our library was much more popular this week!
