Apples!

Well, tomorrow is the last day of September and we are off for our field trip to the pumpkin patch so I HAD to get my apple unit posted!    Of course, we are incorporating all content areas in this study, that is what makes these units so much fun, year after year!  Lots of pictures, so hang in there with me...

This is where it all begins...

Every few days, we have a new apple for a snack.  One day, Granny Smith, another day, Golden Delicious and the final day, Galas. Simple...green, yellow and red.


Now, we use this cute graph from Deanna Jump's Apples Unit to graph which apples were our favorites.


The red Galas were the favorite overall! We used this opportunity to talk about More and Less-our Topic Two concept for EnVision Math.
We broke out the Math Journals to illustrate this concept.

My example.



Our apple poem from Jessica Meacham for our Poetry Journals.


We will practice identifying sight words, punctuation and rhyming words using different colors of highlighters for each.  The first time we do this will be in small group.  It will take a few times before they are able accomplish this independently but they will get it!
We will also make an Apple Book...this is the cover.
Good Job!


Art work for the Kindergarten Scrapbook.





We wrote our first sentence for this scrapbook page using mostly sight words. It was good practice for phoneme segmentation for sounding out apple.



We learned about the parts of an apple.  We put on our pretend lab coats and talked about how scientists research an object they are studying. We talked about labelling and making a diagram.



We have also learned about Johnny Appleseed, of course.

We finished a sentence about Johnny Appleseed.

Hard at work...

We sounded out the sentence together in small group.


We talked about important details to include in our illustrations.

Once we complete our Johnny Appleseed artwork, this page will go in our Famous Americans Book.
Naturally, we dressed up as Johnny Appleseed!

This photo will go on our Apple page of our Kindergarten Scrapbook.


We have read The Apple Pie Tree and will make a page for the Apple Book
about how an apple tree changes through the seasons.


We read Ten Apples Up On Top! and tied in More and Less easily!
We will also make a page for the Apple Book from this story. 
Look for that in a few days...

  1. At that point, shock! Loan fees climbed marginally and all of a sudden people found that their movable home loan financing costs had gone up, and they couldn't pay them, and abandonments started to take off as home costs fell. As land costs topped out and dispossessions developed, the stock of unsold properties began to rise. payday loans

  2. It used to be that hiking excursions to Fiji included a transport ride from Nadi to Suva, then a ship to some place like Ovalau, Savusavu, Taveuni or Kadavu. No more. Nowadays youthful spending plan explorers are covering up to go to the Yasawa Islands, a chain of 16 extensive volcanic islands and many littler ones around 35 km off the west shore of Viti Levu.

  3. The regularly scheduled payment could be as high as RM2.5K. Keeping in mind the end goal to create positive income, you have to at any rate rent out in RM3K. Most likely you don't think this is a lot of if the inhabitant has family and kids and they require greater space to live in. Payday Loans
