Last week we learned about apples! We started out by learning the life cycle of an apple and the parts of an apple. Then we labeled the parts. Our art project helped us remember new vocabulary: stem, leaf, seeds, flesh, core, and skin.
Our class listened to this story.
They loved it. Do you remember Amelia Bedelia? She always says such funny things! We used this story to discuss setting, characters, and problems in stories.
On Friday we sampled Granny Smith, Red Delicious, and Honey Crisp apples. Students voted on their favorite and we created a pictograph. The Granny Smith had the most votes.
Finally, we celebrated with homemade applesauce! Yum! I already had the apples cooking in the crock pot and kids took turns mashing them.
