Apple Unit

We completed our mini unit on apples. Throughout this unit we learned a variety of things!

We practiced sequencing and following directions by making apple crisp. 

We learned all about Johnny Appleseed & the life cycle of an apple.

We explored our five senses and looked at a variety of apples. We also learned about data analysis and how to make a graph.

We completed a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) activity. The students had to pretend they were trapped on an island with nothing but apples and toothpicks. They had to construct a floating raft to help them sail home. We learned four new vocabulary words:

1. Raft: a floating platform made of materials that are fastened together.
2. Buoyant: Able to float or rise in a liquid.
3. Balance: Even distribution of weight.
4. Drift: To be carried slowly by a current of air or water. 

Patterns

For the month of October the students will be learning all about patterns! Last week we created patterns out of stickers, bingo dabbers and pictures!

Halloween Writing & Sequencing

Last week, we read a variety different fiction stories about haunted houses. Then, we used our five senses to describe how we would feel if we went into a haunted house. On Friday, we are carving pumpkins. Today, we sequenced how to carve a pumpkin and completed a "how-to" writing activity.
