It's apple pickin' time!!!! Although we don't have the funding to go pick our own apples, we DID do LOTS of fun apple activities!!!
Here are a few pics of the fun stuff we did last week:
We read "TEN Apples Up On Top"! (Yes, he only has 9 apples up on top;) We do a book page that says: "____________ has ______ apples up on top" then, I take their picture to put in the book.We made a web map describing an apple (which I forgot to take a picture of:( Then, we stuffed these giant apples that I cut out of bulletin board paper. We just got one of the big recycle bins and used a bunch of paper from it to crumble up.
Here's the inside of one of our apples:)
Then we took the words from our web map and glued them on our giant apples;) The middle phrase says "An apple is..." and there are lots of adjectives glued all over the apples.
Here they are hanging in our hallway:) Each table worked together to make a different color apple.
Here are some apples that we made out of different sized squares and rectangles. Then, we stuck labels on the different parts.
Friday is Apple day and our apple FEAST!!! Look at our Johnny Appleseed hats!!! I ♥ them so much!;) it's just a large piece of construction paper cut in 1/2 long ways and we cover it with foil. Then, I roll up a small piece of brown construction paper and attach it for the handle. Last, I cut out apple die cuts and write their Appleseed name on it:)
This is SUCH a fun thing to do with the kids that I have been doing for years!! I use my pampered chef apple peeler and let each kiddo peel their own apple for the feast! They think it is THE COOLEST thing ever!!!;)For our feast, we eat things like applesauce, apple butter, apple cereal, apple cider and apples with carmel dip:) Here is what our apples look like after they go through the peeler-SOOOO FUN!
HaPpY FaLl!!!!
Looks like so much fun! I am stealing your huge stuffed apple idea - that is fabulous!!

Apples is one of my favorite fall units. I love making Johnny Appleseed hats. I made apple cake in the crock pot last year. So yummy!
ReplyDeleteI love the 10 apples up on top. We do the same activity and have them draw themselves but this is hilarious and so clever. What fun you are having!

I love all the apple activities. Think I'll have to do the 10 apples on top. I usually just have them do thumbprints for apples, but the die cut apple and picture is just to cute.
