Apples, apples and more apples!

It's my favorite time of year - Fall!  

I love the beautiful leaves, the temperature and all the fun things we get to talk about in the classroom. Last week we started talking about apples. First, we generated a list of all the things we knew about apples. Then, followed up with non-fiction writing and apple fact books.  

We also made diagrams of apples and practiced labeling our pictures.  

Later in the week, we discussed the different seasons of an apple tree. The kids loved looking at real life pictures of the same tree and noticing the differences.

Continuing our apple learning... this week we will be visiting the apple orchard and writing about Johnny Appleseed.  You can click on the pictures below to see more apple activities and classroom fun!
