Apples

We had an awesome week with our new theme apples!  We learned about weight and measurement while we used a scale to weigh apples with acorns!

We learned about how apples start out as seeds, grow into trees, then start as apples bud, grow bigger and bigger all summer, and are then ready to harvest in the fall.  Then we did an art project to help reinforce the apple's life cycle.



We learned a new pattern this week ABCABC.  We practiced making this pattern many different ways with our bodies and cubes, then the kids made an ABC pattern of their own using apple prints.  They printed red, yellow, green, red, yellow, green!

We had an apple taste test, recorded which apple we liked best, and graphed the results.  Red was the favorite in this class!

We learned all about the parts of an apple and made an apple to label it parts.



We used both our apple taste test sheets and our apple parts craft to make our second class book, that will be coming home with your kiddos soon!
Our sensory tub was full of all things fall and was a big hit with everyone!



It was a GREAT week with a GREAT group of kids.  They work so hard and we are so proud of him.  Here are all your little smarties in action!










Have a wonderful Fall Break!
