apples
By Kim

Take your class "apple picking" where they can look for paper apples around the class or building. Type facts or questions about apples. The children will get excited about looking for the apples and they'll learn on the
way. Role play the story The Mouse and the Apple by Stephen Butler. Easy text and repetitive verse. I made the characters to use as a story retelling activity. You can use interactive writing to make character name cards for the children to wear for the role playing. We read Ten Apples Up On Top by Theo. LeSieg and made a class book. I took pictures of the children's faces and they

glued a specified # of apples on top. The sentence on the bottom read __________ (name) has ______ (#) apples up on top. I also made a book myself with the students pictures called The Apples of Mrs. Chartier's Eye. I glued the pictures on an apple cut out on each page. I made a leaf for each apple with the name of each student. The children will match the names to the faces. (Leaves velcro on). After you make some pple treat, use interactive writing to write the recipe. My neighbor did hers with the sentence "I put in the ______." Then she'll turn it into a class book after the children illustrate it. For making groups in math I labeling paper trees with numbers. I have mini bingo dabbers for them to use to put that number of apples in the tree. You must already have the story about the Little Red House... We'll be doing our favorite apples graph, too. Good luck
