Apples

This week we had a great time learning, reading and writing about apples. 

We brainstormed about apples on a circle map, organized our thoughts on a tree map and wrote four sentences about apples!

We also described our apples through adjectives, made an apple glyph, and graphed our apples in math.

We started the day by preparing our homemade applesauce and then enjoyed eating our applesauce for snack (see recipe below)! It made the room smell WONDERFUL!!! 18 students liked the applesauce and 2 students did not like it but they tasted it. We also traveled around the world with "How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World". We used google earth to travel to the different places from the story. We were worn out afterwards because we visited England, Italy, Jamaica, Sri Lanka, and Vermont. :)
