I am a mountain girl, so nothing says Fall, or home, to me like APPLES!!
We have used our senses to describe how apples look, feel, and taste; and we made a classroom graph to show our favorite varieties.
We learned about how apples grow, and how apples get from the orchard to our house in the form of apple cider, applesauce, and apple pies.
We even made our own applesauce!! YUM!!
We also made a classroom graph to show how we like to eat our apples after an apple-riffic taste test!
I can't believe the apple cider beat our homemade applesauce!!
As you and your family get ready for the long weekend, consider a trip to do some apple picking. Have your child spell the color of their favorite apple, use our new apple vocabulary (like blossom and orchard) to tell you how apples grow, or try out an apple recipe at home! Your child should know all about making applesauce, or try out a new recipe together. Be ready to use the words first, next, and last to talk about the steps you take. Or just head to the library and look for some apple books (Apple Farmer Annie, The Apple Pie Fairy, or The Seasons of Arnold's Apple Tree are great choices).
