Apples and Shaving Cream! What a week!

This week we finished up our apple unit with not one, not two but three apple activities! Plus we also worked very hard on writing our numbers from 0-10 from memory! It was a fun filled week!

Apples, Apples and more Apples!

To start off our apple week fun we began with an apple torn paper craft. Students tore out small pieces of green, red and yellow paper to make an apple craft. The kids really took their time and they turned out so nice!

Then we moved on to our apple printing. Students got to use apple halves to paint a fall tree. It was a great chance for them to get messy while also looking at the veins that the apple left in the paint when it dried. The students really enjoyed it!

Finally we ended our apple week with an apple tasting! The students got to try a red, yellow and green apple and we graphed which type of apple students liked best. Spoiler alert: red won! This was a great chance for students to use some math skills, graphing which apple flavor won, and also writing (we came up with describing words for how our apples tasted!) All in all it was a fun week filled with apples :)

Number Writing

We have been working really hard on being able to write numbers 0-10 from memory. It really helps students when we move on to addition and teen numbers when students don't have to spend lots of time figuring out how to write a 5 or a 6f or example. To help with that we did a fun activity where we wrote our numbers in shaving cream! The students loved getting messy and it also allowed them to use their whole arm/hand to practice writing those numbers! It was so much fun and I saw lots of improvement in their numbers afterward!

This week we are moving on to our pumpkin unit as we lead up to our pumpkin patch field trip. I can't believe we are moving into week 6 of Kindergarten but I am enjoying every minute and I hope your students are too :)
