Last week, we began our unit on Apples. I was suprised to see what incredible learning experiences apples lent themselves to! Because of the variety of apples the incredible parents brought in, we were able to sort, count, compare, taste, investigate, and vote on our favorite apple color.
Did you know there is a star inside every apple? Read this story to find out more! http://www.thevirtualvine.com/thelittleredhouse.html
We also learned about Johnny Appleseed and the part he played in planting apple trees all over America.
We followed an apple's life from seed to tree to fruit and learned that it takes a lot to grow an apple! Thank goodness, because we wouldn't want any growing inside our tummies if we accidentally swallowed one! :-)
We will finish up our Apple unit this coming week. Hopefully my camera will be up and running again so that I can post some brilliant student work and offer you a peek inside our busy, busy beehive.
