Ian was working on the letter "A", the number "1" and the color red this week! That went perfectly with the apple theme!
He was picking the "A's" from several cards. Each time I would add more extra letters in for him to choose from! I couldn't trick him!
Momo did a writing assignment on why or why not she liked apples.
Here Ian was to circle all the letter "A's".
Aaron working on his history.
Here is Momo's writing.
Ian played his HOP games.
Kristen was working on a map activity for history.
Morgan completed the first chapter in science. She is doing a lapbook/notebook for this so here she was working on putting all the mini books onto the pages for this unit.
We are really enjoying her science curriculum this year.
She finished up the unit with another experiment about currents. This time she was learning about deep ocean currents and how temperature effects the currents.
This was another apple activity. I found this apple garland with I pulled apart. The first thing we did was some counting and math with the apples.
Here I had asked Morgan to show me a model for the equation 4X4.
Next, we made a chart and guessed how many apples tall all of us are. Then we measured to see how close our guesses were.
Even Maggie got in on this one!
It was time for apple tasting after that! We had 5 different types of apples to try.
We first cut the apple to see the star in the middle. We also made guesses as to how many seeds were in the apples and discusses whether or not all apples had the same number of seeds.
We discovered we all liked the organic Gala apples, red delicious and granny smith apples. We really did not like the Fuji and Golden Delicious types. We also found out the apples all had a different number of seeds.
Here is our chart for the apple height activity!
After tasting apples. Morgan and Ian made some apple print paintings!
