Apple day started with apple math. We graphed our apples by colors and by whether or not they had a stem. Then we measured our apple's height,
and weight
and tested if it would float or sink
Some apple centers: making patterns,
making apple fingerprints to match numbers
We did non-fiction writing
apples are good. they help us grow.
apples are yummy
In science class we made a diagram of an apple and labeled the different parts.
and at 2:00 we finally got to eat the applesauce that we had smelled all day long. About half of the class liked it (some could not get past the fact that it was chunky and warm). Everyone at this table had seconds or thirds despite one of them telling me ahead of time that they didn't like that kind of applesauce.
No pictures of our awesome apple seasons art - we were too busy with glue, paint, sand and glitter... but since we already had the mess out, we had a messy art option at center time.
See this creation? It features glue, sand, glitter, crayon, and dot markers as the media.
And since the water table was filled from the morning, that center was also open later.
Update: here's an apple seasons picture:
It was a very messy, very fun day!
