APPLE DAY

 Today is Apple Day in Kindergarten!

We began by coloring a white paper apple the same color as the one we brought from home.



Next, we completed an Apple Investigation sheet.




We weighed an apple!
Our class apple weighed as much as 65 linking cubes!


Our class had more red and green apples!


We measured how many linking cubes tall our apple was, most were 3 or 4 linking cubes tall.







Next we used an apple peeler/corer to peel and cut our apples into slices.
The students had to use their muscles to turn the crank!
















This is what our apples looked like before we cooked them.


We read a story called The Star in the Apple, where Peter is looking for a little red house with no windows, no doors, a chimney on top and a star inside. He asked many people where he might find it.
The grandmother told him to look in the apple orchard.
The wind came and an apple dropped into his lap. 
He saw that it was red, with no windows, no doors, a stem for the chimney on top, but wasn't sure if there was a star inside.


We cut it open, and THERE WAS A STAR INSIDE!!!


We made apple prints!


We learned a song about an apple tree, and 
then went on a letter hunt looking for Aa's in the song.




We used mini erasers and made an apple pattern!





And used clipboards and "wrote" the room.
We found pictures of a bushel of apples, with different pictures inside the bushel.
We had to write the beginning sound of the picture inside the bushel.  





We checked on our apples and all had a turn to mash them!
