Time for Apples!

Have you and your family been to the orchards yet? It's that time of year! Our Story Time theme this week was apples. We read two books: Ten Red Apples by Pat Hutchins and Ten Apples Up on Top by Theo LeSeig. Here's a link to a video version of our second book. For our apple craft, children chose a large or a small paper plate, colored it red, and glued all sorts of "reds" to it - like crepe and tissue papers, foam shapes, and glittery foil paper. With a stem and a leaf, the take-home project was beautiful!

We also learned this poem and took turns sharing our apple puppet as we acted it out and recited it.

Apple, apple

Juicy and round

I found you lying on the ground. 

I picked you up

And what did I see?

A big fat worm looking back at me!
