Apple Activities

 

 

We created apple trees and painted the apples with our fingerprints.

We learned the word "estimation" this week as we estimated how many apples would fit around our large apple picture.  Way to go Mrs. Moneymaker!  (Has she ever estimated for this lesson before??)
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 painted apple prints.  Do you notice our patterns?

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 used the "Up on Top" idea to make books of more and less.  We also got to practice reading our friends names.  Thanks Mrs. Thomson, Mrs. Mosey, and Mrs. McDaniel for making these fun books.

Our culminating activity of the week was making applesauce!  Ms. Moneymaker 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 applesauce is delicious! 

We shared some applesauce with Mr. Kauk.  We told him that we made it with onions and hot sauce!? 

Mrs. Harvey said it was the best ever!

We made pattern headbands with little apples
and pretended that we were "Apple Princesses and Princes".
