Our apple week brought with it lots of hands-on fun! We used apples to do paint printing, got to taste test different types of apples to create a graph of our favorites, and constructed several fun and colorful apple crafts. We had a blast with "apple bobbing" with tongs (all the while practicing taking turns nicely, following directions, sorting colors, comparing, and counting).
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 even got to do letter tracing in applesauce!
In our table centers this week, we worked on sorting different sized apples, sorting picture cards between apples/not apples, counting apples out onto an apple tree, making patterns, tracing curved and zigzag lines, and making numbers with play dough. We are turning into math experts in our class!
We look forward to being back together this coming week! Until then, see if your child can...
1. Tell you the story of Adam and Eve in the garden.
2. Count out four objects.
3. Tell you the parts of an apple and help you make something with apples.
4. Find three things in your house that start with the letters M and A.
5. Find apple-colored objects in your house (yellow, red, and green).
Sorting uppercase and lowercase letters? Easy!
We loved making our own paper apple creations!
