Farm Animals and Apples

The past couple of weeks have been a lot of fun! 
In math, the students practiced sorting:
They learned all about numbers 0-5
 They have been working hard at counting using one-to-one correspondence
In Literacy, the kids have been practicing retelling a story from beginning to end
 They learned what a Venn Diagram is
 Discussed some different things farm animals give us
 We also read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and created these adorable trees!
 This past week was our apple unit! It is one of my favorites!
The students had the opportunity to try each type of apple, then we created a graph to see which apple was liked the most
 On Friday, we made applesauce! It was delicious!

This week is our Pumpkin unit! I can't wait!

All About Apples!

We completed our apple unit last week at school! It was so much fun!!! If you aren't a teacher, you probably could care less about this post, but it was so much fun I had to write about it!

We started out with a KWL of apples. They got real into this!


We read the poem "The Apple Tree" and talked about rhyming words. My kids are great with rhyming words!!


We read "10 Apples Up On Top" and then they created a picture of themselves with 10 apples up on top!


We read "Johnny Appleseed" and created our own Johnny Appleseed hats. I can't post any pics of my students so I don't have any pictures of the adorable hats they wore!


We made an apple glyph {I am obsessed with glyphs!}


We labeled the different parts of an apple


After tasting red, green, and yellow apples we graphed our favorite apples


We also made homemade applesauce in the crock-pot! It was delicious and made our classroom smell really good!

And lastly, I now have my door decorated for Fall!


I love teaching!!!!
