September-October Week 4

It was HAPPY APPLE WEEK 

In Kindergarten!!!!

(if you are looking for an update on next week's activities, I will always put them at the end of the photos)

Thank you for sending in all the nice apples for our fun and educational activities!

We thought like scientists as we made diagrams of an apple:

We labeled the parts of an apple tree:

We read about and created these cutie-patootie 

Johnny Appleseeds!

We've been looking at 

COOPERATION as one of our C.A.R.E.S

school wide study on character development.

Yes, we are all GOOD APPLES!

This chart shows what we learned about apples.

It's called a 

CAN HAVE ARE chart.

We measured with apples.

You get to see me and Mr. Tom however we did measure everyone!

We found the star when we cut an apple!

We ate whole apples, homemade applesauce and dried apples!

We used our senses to describe apples!

(this was an introduction to adjectives!)

Here's our cooking pictures!

(the blog loads pictures recent to older no matter how I do it so they will be in reverse order this year)

Dried Apples:

Applesauce:

Looks like a fun process!

(it was!!!)

We\graphed our apples by color:

We really really really looked at our apples like artists would and drew what we saw.  It was exciting to notice that a red apple is not all red!

Here's our apple station!

(see  the big apple adjective chart? Fun!)

Here are our actual apple graphs.

We sorted into size...

and color...

We LOVE LOVE LOVE the apple discovery table!
