Apples Story Time: October 5-6, 2015

Books:
All for Pie, Pie for All by David Martin
Found an Apple by Harriet Zierfert *
Ned's New Home by Kevin Tseng
Tap the Magic Tree by Christie Matheson *
Ten Red Apples by Pat Hutchins *


Craft: Paper Plate Apple
Our craft this week was very similar to the picture at left.  The children chose either a red, green, or yellow sheet of paper to rip into pieces.  They then glued them to a large paper plate.  The final step was to color and then glue a stem and leaf onto the top of the plate.

Literacy Extensions:
- It's the season to go apple picking.  Learn about how apples are grown before going apple picking with your child.
- Explore a little math with your child by having them poll the people they know to see what their favorite color of apple is.  Then make a chart of the results.


Notes:
The book Found an Apple can be sung to the tune of "Oh My Darling Clementine".
