Apples

We recently finished a big unit on states of matter and their properties. We looked at apples and made a list of properties that described the apples. Then we got to taste the different color apples and we added more words to our list after tasting. We knew by looking at the apple it was round and smooth on the outside. When we got to taste it we learned that apples can we juicy too.  We also got to taste apples in its different states. We tasted a liquid and solid apple.  We discussed what a gas is but did not taste anything for that. 

What Apple unit would not be complete without reading the book Ten Apples Up on Top by Dr. Seuss?  The kids loved the book and enjoyed making their own pictures of them with apples on top of their head. 

Apples

For letter A week we learned all about Apples!

We read the book 10 Apples up on Top by Dr. Seuss. Students then drew a picture of their face. Next they made apples from construction paper and glued them on top of their head.

Each day we would read books about apples. Then we would draw a picture or make an apple from construction paper. Each student would have a sentence cut apart and we would put it together in the correct order. Students were learning about words in a sentence and how words need spaces.



Here are some of the wonderful apple books we read during the week. At the end of the week, the students sorted the apples they brought to school and then we got to eat the apples. They are yummy!
