	We learned the word "estimation" this week as we estimated how many apples would fit around our large apple picture. Way to go Alex and Martin! They had the closest estimations!
We sequenced apples and discussed math words like big, large, gigantic, enormous, small, tiny, teeny, bigger, smaller, biggest, and smallest.
	We got to measure our friends at center time. The "K" Kids are about 15 apples tall.
We also practiced using a balance scale. We found that some apples are "heavier" and some are "lighter". We had to work hard to find apples that were of equal weight.
	We put lemon juice on an apple to prevent it from turning brown. We talked about how the air (oxygen) mixes with the sugar in the apple to turn it brown. The lemon juice didn't let this happen.
This is the poem that we learned this week. We practiced it on our big chart. On Friday, we illustrated our own poem to put in our Poetry Folders. We also highlighted the "." at the end of the sentences and found the famous word "the".
\	We made pattern headbands with little apples and pretended that we were "Apple Jack Kids".
We painted apple prints.
	We read Ten Apples Up on Top. Then we got in 3 groups traced a friend and colored the person.
Finally, we used the people that we created to display our class apple graph "Up On Top". Can you tell which color of apples most of us like? We were thrilled that they even had to go on the ceiling!
	We created apple trees and painted the apples with our fingerprints.
Our culminating activity of the week was making applesauce! Ms. Mary helped us use the peeler, corer, slicer.
We put in 6 apples to 1 cup of water and cooked them until they were soft. Then we mashed the apples and added cinnamon and sugar.	Yum! This is delicious! We shared some with Mrs. Roberts, too. She liked it so much that she did the 'principal's happy dance'. Ask your favorite "K" Kid about it.
