an apple lesson a day...
By deb

Clip to ScrapBook   
*Read Ten Apples on Top by Leo Sieg. Practice balancing bean bags on top - who can balance ten? Create apple patterns using red/green/yellow apple prints on long strips of paper held vertically. Take a picture of each
child's face with eyes looking up and attach to bottom of strip. It looks so cool!
*Hand out numbered paper apples, one for each child at line-up times. Have class line up in numerical order or reverse order. Great number sequence activity.
*Have kids each bring in an apple. Each child estimates how many seeds are in his apple. Use corer to cut apple appart. Use toothpicks to pick
out seeds. Compare estimate to actual. Use seeds in an apple project. We make paper apple cores (large red circle cut in half with a wavy line , white paperwith ripped sides for core glued between circle halves, add stem, leaves and real seeds.)
