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. During center time, we printed the star on paper.
We learned about the life cycle of an apple. From seeds, to trees,
to blossoms to apples and back to seeds, the cycle is never ending. Our
class illustrated the cycle.
During the week, we ate apple slices, drank apple juice and ate apple sauce. We then graphed how we like our apples. Most of us preferred apple juice.
We read 10 Apples Up on Top and made a class book by drawing ourselves and putting apples up on top of our heads. These are Isabel and Isadora's pages from our book.
Our Family Home Project was to decorate a paper pumpkin with anything the families chose and to write a story about the pumpkin. Many creative, fun, cute pumpkins came back to school and are on display in the hallway outside of our room.
