Apple Day!

It's apple week!! To start off apple week, we learned about how apples grow and how there are so many different types of apples! Of course Johnny Appleseed day fell into our apple unit, so why not learn about him!  We learned how Johnny Appleseed planted apple trees all over to give us the apples we eat today. To end our Johnny Appleseed day, we watched a movie about him! They enjoyed watching the movie!
During our week long apple unit, we also taste tested some apples! We taste tested green, red and yellow Apples (letter of the week was of course the letter Aa!). The preschoolers got to choose the apple they like the most and color it's correct color on our apple sheet as well as our class apple graph.
One of the art projects we did this week was to make apple cores! We painted our apples and leaf. We then dotted brown seeds into the middle of our apple!

We finished our apple unit by making our own apple trees! We used green frosting, graham crackers and Twizzler Nibs for our apples. It was a very messy but yet a FUN activity! They liked spreading their own frosting, but I think their best part was they got to eat some of their left over frosting!  Below are some pictures of decorating their apple trees as well as the finished product.
