These last few weeks at school have been very exciting! We've learned about a new season, the leaves changing colour and we've even done some apple tasting. Take a look at what we've been up to in our classroom.
We went on a leaf hunt and then read the story Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert.
We created some leaf art!
Many students came to school telling us that they had gone apple picking. We began talking about the different types of apples, the different colours of apples and which were their favourite. From this information we charted what the students know about apples and what they wonder about apples.
Red Class
We decided to bring in three different types of apples: Golden Delicious, Red Delicious and Granny Smith. The students were given the opportunity to taste each type.
Take a look at our graph entitled "Which graph do you like best?"
Once the students decided which apple was their favourite we began creating apple prints.
When we were "wondering" about apples one of our students asked "How do you make applesauce?" We decided to make applesauce using a crock pot and only two ingredients: apples and water.
While Mrs. Porcari was cutting the apples many students were interested in counting the seeds that were inside the core.
The students really enjoyed our applesauce!
