Apples, apples everywhere. . .who knew such fun could be had! We had a blast painting apples yellow or green, ripping paper (a great fine motor activity), cutting out apples and even using a real apple to make apple prints with! During our apple taste test on Friday we discovered red apples were the most popular. We also worked on some number recognition and color matching with a few different apple games at center time. The children had to count the number of seeds in the apple and identify the number. They also put "apples" in the apple tree. We will continue working on these skills throughout the coming weeks! We had such great helpers making our yummy applesauce! It was definitely a big hit! We told a cute little story about finding a little red house with no windows, no doors and a star inside! If you want to find that little red house on your own at home, all you will need is a red apple and a knife!
This is one of our favorite apple songs that we have been singing this week...
Way up high, in the tree Way up high, in the tree, Five red (or green) apples smiled at me, So I shook that tree as hard as I could, Down came an apple mmm, mmm, good! (Continue with four, three, etc) Next week we will begin our exploration into all things fall, this will take a few weeks. We will be discussing what happens in the fall, what changes we can expect to see, and next week, we will talk about how animals adapt to the change in seasons!
