Apples, Apples, Apples

I have been trying to throw in this  Apple Unit since we started school, but somehow I haven’t been able to make it work. This week I decided to just do it. We had actually started the story of Johnny Appleseed, which is a part of curriculum, so it really worked out. Then I had a creative block, seriously I just couldn’t think of any real fun things to do for apples, so I looked at some great sites and a friend let me use some great resources and today we had a blast.

 

 We made these Johnny Appleseed  puppets after reading another book about him.

 We made apple prints with apples. This didn’t turn out like I had hoped but they had fun anyway.

 We did a sink or float activity starting with just an apple and carrot. This quickly expanded to other fruits and vegetables. They loved this. I will have to do this at another time with other things. We talked about what makes them sink or float.

  We made homemade applesauce.

  Very Yummy.      Very Very Yummy
