Learning with Apples

Our drama play area has been turned into a replica of Bauman Orchard. The children have apples, pumpkins, gourds, and fall books to purchase. Our sensory table is our classroom version of the fun straw maze and our hermit crab is the animal. The children have been having a lot of fun playing in this area.

In the following Smileboxes you will also see what else we did centered around apples. During Circle Time we made a big apple graph on our carpet. During Free Choice Time we made applesauce. While this was going on the children were busy inputting their data electronically on our Mimio board as to what color apple they brought to school. They also were responsible for making a hard copy of their data. When they were done we analyze and interpreted their data. We did this same graphing procedure when we had our apple tasting activity. Below you can look over the graphs with your child and ask them to interpret the data for you. Have your child click on the graphs to maximize them.
