~Apples~
 We
read Apples, Apples, Apples to kick off our Apple Theme!
I love reading this story to my students because it not only
shares the cycle of an apple, but also shows the different parts
of an apple.
We
observe a real apple. As a whole class we study the stem, skin,
flesh, core, seeds, and the star of a real apple. The students
LOVE using magnifying glasses. I am amazed at the connections
students make!
We
weigh and sort apples by colors and size!
 
We
talk about our 5 senses! We use our 5 senses to describe an
apple.Each child gets a slice of apple. As a whole group we discuss
how it looks, tastes, sounds, feels, and smells. The students
really enjoy this activity. We read our sentences
daily and then once the unit is over, I place this reading
poster in our Reading Center!
We
make apple prints using a slice of apple and paint!
Students
LOVE reading this pocket chant!
