Children are quick to give thanks for the things they enjoy. We began our month of Thanksgiving with a favorite fruit - Apples.We used our senses to observe, touch, and taste.
Art activities used the apples themselves for printmaking and for drawing and painting inspiration.
The tasting was our favorite! We tried three different colors of apples and chose the tastiest to vote for. Our graph was useful to see the winning color of apple appear and we were able to count and compare numbers as we worked together.
New vocabulary words we listed: core, stem, flesh, peel, seed.
The cool tool we used to prepare apples for snack: The apple peeler-corer-slicer!
Our arm and hand muscles worked to turn the handle.
What can you do with apples at home? Look for a yummy treat that your child can help prepare and share.
