To finish out studying apples within our fall unit, we reviewed a few activities and added a few new ones!
We made fun apple cards!
Did some writing along the way!
We used our first apple card to write to our pen-pal and beloved cousin, Rora!
Googly eyes make everything more fun!
I wonder if you can figure out which ones Charlotte versus Adelyn did!
They both did an awesome job!
This is chanted to the tune of "5 little monkeys"
The girls thought this one was particularly fun/silly :)
We continued to solve CGI problems with apples!
We used those 5 senses that we talked about earlier to apply them to apples!
They really loved this activity.
I printed the shell of a tree and wrote numbers on the tree!
I wrote numbers 1-6 on Adelyns and 2-12 on Charlottes.
They took turns. Adelyn rolled 1 die and counted the number on it and dotted that number.
Charlotte rolled 2 dice and counted the total of the two dice.
Adelyn filled hers up first. I'll definitely do this one again :)
We did our apple tree playdough mat again!
We used some of those printables as a review!
Then, we did this crazy thing!
We drove across the country to go apple-picking!
A 2-day drive all the way to Virginia to visit the family and pick apples!
Here is the link to more apple-picking pictures :)
I wasn't privy to much of this conversation but Granddaddy did some weighing with us!
We did some more apple slicing to help Aunt Leigh Ann make a pie!
and more taste-testing of course!
We did lots of apple-bobbing!
This was definitely a hit.
Even the grownups joined in :)
I thought we would do a sink or float experiment, but the girls told me they already know they float from bobbing apples. Win-win!
To finish up our apple discussion, I asked the girls what new words we learned from apples. Charlotte and Adelyn came up with: Seed, core, flesh and peeling. Most of those came from the books we read. I was happy with those and we listed them in our fall journal/book!
