A is for Apple

A is for Apple; If I stay in Jesus I will have much fruit! Who wouldn't have fun learning about apples?! There is just so much to do with apples and they taste yummy!!! We were very busy this week trying to get all our fun projects done that we wanted to do. We started with the most important project; making apple crisp and applesauce with Mie Mie!!! As you can tell by Sawyer's face I think he ate as much as he was peeling!

Carter tried a little bit of the apples but wasn't to sure why Sawyer loved them so much.

We also went through magazines and cut out pictures of all types of fruit. Sawyer did a great job identifying what was a fruit and what was not. We then went to the store and bought lots of different types of apples so that we could observe and talk about how they were different. We cut them in half two different ways to see the core and the star that's inside. Then we took our apples halves, dipped them in paint and went crazy stamping! (We saved the paper to wrap Daddy's birthday presents next week.)

We also went on youtube.com and watched the story of Johnny Appleseed. Finally we traced our hand and arm to make a tree, then cut up green leaves and used red paint to make the apples!
