In our APPLE unit, we made trees,

learned and printed the parts of a apple: seed, flesh, skin, core, stem, leaf...

"apple stamped" some in green and red paint for our baskets,

cut a core in half for our Science experiment! We saw the APPLE STAR and the 5 seeds!

We made "torn apple" art in Art class and tasted red, green and yellow apple slices! Our classes' favorite? GREEN!

We tasted APPLE foods/drink. Pie, slices with caramel, sauce and juice. Our favorite?  Caramel and slices!!!

Cheers to you!

We even made "apple pies" at our sensory table at center time!
