and crisp and exciting…and there is a plethora of festive produce to use as your theme! I love these weeks of plentiful apples and
pumpkins! We’ll hold off on the pumpkins
for bit.
Let’s talk apples.
Okay, here are some things we’ll be doing over the next two weeks.
I plan to share a boatload of apple books and reference (I’m still wrangling up a few more) so we can learn about apple facts and a bit of apple fiction.
(This page is available in my All About Apples pack)
We’ll do a pocket chart sort to decide if we are hearing facts or opinions.
I’m going to have my students keep track of facts and opinions on this recording sheet.
At this next center my students will pick an empty apple basket with a three-addend addition equation. They will need to use cubes or counters to solve and record the problem. I’m hoping this will be an effective and fun way to introduce my students to triple addends!
We will also make sure there is time to learn about Johnny Appleseed. My students will go on a little fact hunt around the classroom to learn about him!
In addition to these activities we are looking forward to having an apple taste-test, making applesauce, and incorporating apples into just about everything that we can! These activities (and more!) are
included in my newest packet, All About Apples.
It will be on sale until the 16th!
Here are a few more slides from that packet!
Love that pack! So perfect for firsties!

Great looking stuff! I'll be linking to this post in a blog post about fall learning in the classroom.
This is awesome for my apple week.
Is it against copyright rules if I share this with my sons teacher? one of his assignments this week is to label parts of an apple. I get the feeling from the e-mails she's sending out that some of the moms are overwhelmed trying to get all the home work done for all their kids. Having something they can print out might make it easy on them. But I also don't want to do something you'd be uncomfortable with or that is illegal.
There are so many facts about apples, which we don't even know about. I was so fascinated, while reading this post. Thank you for this.
This lesson will help to interest children and captivate them with a fun process, write-my.com/cheap-papers.php in which they will get acquainted with all the information about apples and their benefits for our body.
