Apples, Apples and More Apples

Starting last week and running through this week students have been learning about apples and doing all sorts of apple related activities including labeling, apple counting and even painting (which they were so excited about!) Students will be tasting apples on Wednesday and graphing/analyzing data from our class to decide which apple is the most popular in our room! Students have really been enjoying it! Check out some pictures below!

Dot Painting

Each week students will be exploring a different medium or artistic method, and last week we looked at dot paintings. Given that we are moving into fall I thought it was fitting that our first dot painting be of a fall tree. First we started by drawing out our trees, then we painted in steps. First we painted the trunk, let that dry and then we painted the tree using three different colors. It was a lot of work but they turned out so beautifully! I can't wait to do this again for pumpkins!

After we drew the trees we did the dots on the trunk and branches.

Then we did dots of yellow, green and red on the tree to make it look like fall.

What a busy few weeks we have coming up as we move into October, but the fun is just beginning and I can't wait to share it with your children.
