We had so many delicious apples left over from yesterday’s sorting activity we decided to put them to good use. After reading the book, The Apple Pie Tree by Zoe Hall the students sliced apples, followed a recipe and made their own Apple Crisp. After cooking their delicious creations, the children enjoyed them as a snack! Cooking with children is a wonderful way to practice following directions, build basic math skills. sequencing, hand-eye coordination, and building fine motor muscles.
The students each brought in an apple to k prep to use in our Math Study small group. We had a variety of apples from tall to short, green to red, round to oval….each apples was unique. After investigating the apples, the children decided what attribute to sort the bushel of apples by! They did a great job and came up some interesting observations!
What would you do if you traveled to space? What would you see? We read the story, On the Moon, by Anna Milbourne to discover who can travel to the moon, how they get there, and what the moon is like. We responded to the reading during writer’s workshop. Our focus today was adding details to our illustrations and adding labels to help our “audience” understand what we are trying to say. What an amazing job they did! I think I even saw our new sight word on one or two. They are on their way to becoming wonderful writers!
The children were introduced to the San Diego Zoo for Kids website today while studying the Giant Panda of China. There are videos, photos and animal cams that allows the students to watch some of the animals at the zoo live. Click the photo below to be directed to their website.
