Apple Fun Day was a success! Everyone had a good time with our apple learning!!
On Monday, all three kindergarten classes came together to experience the apple activities.
Each child completed a craft which shows how an apple tree looks during each season. They made apple prints, played with apple scented play dough, used tongs to scoop apples from the sensory table, and made a Johnny Appleseed hat. Math and science concepts were practiced as the children weighed and measured an apple then decided if it would sink or float. The children tasted red, yellow and green apples and decided which one they liked the best. The results were graphed to determine the most popular. This year, red apples won by a landslide! On Tuesday, we made apple sauce.The boys and girls used the apple peeler machine to peel apples and then we cooked them in a crockpot. Mrs. Deemer's class and ours came together to taste the delicious treat. Although some students were reluctant to try the applesauce, most loved it and asked for seconds!
This week, one story read to them was Ten Apples Up on Top. The children made a character of themselves with 10 apples on top of them.Our weekly story was the Little Red Hen. From this story, the children were introduced to the terms, character and setting. The children had several opportunities to act out the story and be one of the characters. We worked with letters /a/ and /g/ and learned the sight words "to" and "purple".
We are as busy as bees in kindergarten!
Enjoy the weekend!
