In studying what's in a tree, we have been focusing on apples in the tree. We read the book The Red Apples by Pat Hutchins. The children have also loved watching the youtube video for "Way up high in an apple tree." The children have enjoyed counting the apples as they get picked from the tree. We have also been singing and acting out "Ring around the apple tree."
Here are the lyrics to sing and dance to the song at home:
"Ring around the apple tree
All full of apples
Shake it
Shake it
They all fall down"
Apple Sauce!
The class really enjoyed making and eating applesauce. The worked together to follow all the directions and patiently waited all day to eat the apple sauce as it cooked in the slow cooker. They each tried some of the apple sauce and most of the children really enjoyed it :)
