Way Up High in the Apple Tree

We read the poem Way Up High in the Apple tree and acted it out replacing the number 2 in the poem with different numbers 6-10. The students illustrated an apple tree and used small red pom poms to practice putting the different number of apples in their trees as we read and I changed the number in the poem. After we read and practiced putting different numbers of apples in our trees, the students drew a number tile out of a bag and painted that many apples in their tree. Then, the students filled in a sentence frame with their name and the number of apples in their tree.
