October
It is Apple Week in our Kindergarten class! We learned so much about apples on our first day. Ask your child to tell you:
* how to spell a-p-p-l-e
* our apple poem for the week
* the story of the little house with no doors, no windows but has a star inside
* how to find the star inside the apple
* the parts of an apple
We started our unit by listing our schema (what we already know) about apples.
I told the story of the little red house with no doors, no windows and has a star inside. I then took an apple and cut it in half to reveal the star inside the apple. The children were so excited to see the star! They had no idea that a star was inside of an apple.
In our writing journals, we wrote, "I like apples."
During centers, some of the students used paint to stamp the star on the apple.
