Apple Week!

We just completed Apple Week! It was such an awesome week filled with lots of yummy taste testing, apple snacks, creative projects, and apple writing! Take a look at all our work!
We tried a red, green and yellow apple. Then we each voted for our favorite one. Then we graphed our results during math class!

We made applesauce sundaes and they were delicious! The students could say yes please or no thank you to applesauce, cinnamon, mandarin oranges, and raisins! We had A LOT of "Yes, Pleases!" at this activity!




We made this fun apple project! We used our hands as scissors for the apple bites! And they each cut out their own apple design and apple color! The poem reads: ________ likes apples. Munch, Munch, Munch! _______likes apple. Crunch, Crunch, Crunch!
This was a great writing project! The kids had to retrace or some even rewrote the words to our poem "10 Red Apples!" Then they traced their own hands and dipped their finger in red paint to create 10 red apples! At the end they decorated their apples with stems and leaves!

We also did some free writing about apples this week! They used the sentence starter: Apples are ______. Some students came up with over 5 sentences. And they all wrote the sounds they heard in each word! This is something we are really working on right now and they will continue to get better at, as they learn more sounds this year! Amazing work!
Here were some example sentences: 
Apples are big. 
Apples are smol. (small)
Apples are joose. (juicy)
Apples are red. 
Apples are oosum. (awesome)
Apple are on chrebs. (trees)

All About Apples!

Well we just finished our Science Apple Week! We read a story about apples everyday (Johnny Appleseed, Ten Apples Up on Top, Apples, and The Seasons of Arnold's Apple Tree). The students love learning about how apples are created, the different types of apples, and the uses for apples! Throughout the week they had the opportunity to taste apples in a variety of different ways. We made apple smiles and apple sundaes and we tried warm cinnamon apples, apple juice, and apple jacks. We even tasted a yellow, green and red apple and each student voted on their favorite one. During math we ended up graphing it and red apples had the most (9), then yellow (5), and lastly was the green apples (4). During work stations we also created some fun apple projects that will be up during our Fall Open House! We hope you will be there to check it out! For now, enjoy our pictures from our week! P.S.
