The 4K AM and PM students have spent the past week exploring apples. They exercised their finger muscles by poking toothpicks into apples, writing/ drawing in applesauce and putting pom-pom apples on the apple tree with tweezers. They listened to/ read lots of apple stories. They sang apple themed songs to help practice their classmate's names and counting. They had an apple stand in their dramatic play area which sold pretend apple pies, donuts, cider, and juice. In their sensory table, students practiced scooping and transferring with dry oatmeal, foam apples, pie plates, and spoons. They also practiced using their sense of taste and tried different colored apples. Then, 4K students used a graph to see which color was their class favorite. If you think that is awesome, wait until you see what they do next week with apples!
