A Is For Apple

This week we learned all about the letter A and what better way to learn all about it than to learn about APPLES and the letter A! 

We started off the week by being scientist and discovering all about Red Green and Yellow apples. We looked at their color, how they felt, how many seeds each apple contained, and then we tasted each color apple and graphed which one was our favorite.

After learning all about apple trees each student created their very own apple tree. The only direction given was they had to use their fingers to create their trees. Each student worked on tearing pieces to build their own unique trees and then they used their fingers to create the red apples.

We learned about how apple trees grow from seed to growing apples. After we learned each stage the students worked on putting them in the correct order.

Each week we work in our Handwriting Without Tears workbooks to practice writing our letters and this week we worked on the letter A.

For jobs this week we made and Alligator A

An apple a

We worked on putting the numbers 1-10 in order on the trunks of our apple trees and then we counted the apples on each tree top and placed them on the correct trunk.

We sorted and matched colors

Finally on Friday we celebrated our big apple week with an Apple Extravaganza. Sadly we had too much fun to snap any picture, but trust me when I tell you everyone enjoyed our feast!
