Apple Tasting!

Apples have moved in to all areas of our day!  Today, we did a math journal prompt using apples.  The prompt had students used logic and reasoning to figure out where each colored apple when in an order.  These types of questions are GREAT ways to expand your child's thinking to less concrete ideas.  

We also read a book about how apples grow.  We also watched a couple short videos about how apples get from farms to the store and how apple juice is made and bottled.  Finally, it was time to taste!  Everyone got a chance to try a red, yellow, and green apple.  They shared what they thought about the apples after testing each one.  Our next step is to graph our favorites.  We learned about making our own bar graphs using data today and will apply that skill with apples later this week.
