We cut open an apple and observed the insides. Then we labled the parts of an apple.

 

 

10 Apples Up On Top!

We read the book and created apples up on top of our heads.

We counted the apples and wrote the number on a recording sheet.

 







Apple Measurement!

We measured ourselves with apples and wrote how many apples tall we were and our friend was. Then we compared our measurements and identified who was shorter and who was taller.

 

Which Color Apple Do You Like Best?

We tasted red, green and yellow apples.

Unfortunately, we came out with a tie and we had to pretend it came out differently to discuss more and less. But I guess we covered same!

 

 

Making Apple Sauce

 

To review our science concept on how heat changes things, we made applesauce!

 

 Before heat!

Our poem of the week was 5 Little Pumpkins sitting on a gate. We circled our sight word the and the rhyming words in the poem. On Thursday, we read the book and created a TLC illustration. Then the students circled the and the rhyming words in thier own copy of the poem.

Shapes

On Monday, we read Shel Silverstien's Poem Shapes and created illustrations to go with it. On Tuesday, we read shape books including The Shape of Things, created a tree map, and illustrated different shapes and objects that were shaped like a rectangle, square, circle or triangle.

Apple Math

We read the poem Way Up High in the Apple Tree. We changed the number of apples and re-read the poem several times while the students counted the correct amount of apples(red pom poms)and put them on thier apple tree. After practicing counting several times, they were given a number tile and wrote down thier number and thier name to complete the following sentence frame: Way up high in the apple tree _____ apples smiled down on _____________. Then they painted the correct number of apples in the tree.
