Art

Apple prints
Paper plate apples with tissue paper
TLC art in beginning lessons
Tissue paper apples (3-D effect)
Craft project
Scribble Art an apple- Idea from K Crew
Marble painting an apple shape
Use different sizes and the students
can trace the apples onto paper and then design their own apples.




Negative apples. I used semi heavy cardboard and made apple die cuts. My students
used colored pencils to make art work.

Math Ideas

Apple die cuts and erasers
Math Mats from Bry Back
Using apples to measure different things.
Apple Graph
Using a single apple, create
many lines of apples. I turn my sheet sideways(landscape)
and have rows of apples. I have my students create a pattern
Apple patterning using die cuts.
Supply the students with several different colored apples.
Have them graph.
Graph the number of seeds
Apple Maze
Draw a tree on construction paper. Place stickers
on the side/bottom for the certain number
Apple Glyph
Roll and Take: Using mini erasers
have kids take that many. At the beginning, I have a
programmed sheet(1/2 piece of construction paper) that
has boxes. The students roll the die and take that many
apples and place them in the correct box. If they have
that number, their turn is over.
Have different apples in your center
also have a fabric tape measure. Have kids measure different apples
and write down their length. You might also have them find things
that are the same size.

Poems

A Little Red Apple
A little red apple
Hung high in a tree.
I looked up at it,
And it looked down at me.
"Come down, please," I called.
And what do you suppose?
That little red apple
Dropped right on my nose

The Apple Tree
Way up high in the apple tree,
Four little apples hung over me.
I shook the tree as hard as I could.
Down came the apples and mmmmm!
Were they good!
Way up high in the apple tree,
Three little apples hung over me.
I shook the tree as hard as I could.
Down came the apples and mmmmm!
Were they good!
Way up high in the apple tree,
Two little apples hung over me.
I shook the tree as hard as I could.
Down came the apples and mmmmm!
Were they good!
Way up high in the apple tree,
One little apple hung over me.
I shook the tree as hard as I could.
Down came the apple and mmmmm!
Was it good!

Apples
Apples, apples, one, two, three,
Apples for you,
Apples for me.
Apples for big,
Apples small,
Apple trees tiny,
Apple trees tall.
Apples sour,
Apples sweet,
Apples, apples, are nice to eat.

I Like Apples
Red apples,
Big apples,
Good apples,
Yummy apples,
Any kind of apples,
I like apples!
An apple on the tree,
An apple in the basket,
An apple in a fridge,
An apple in a store,
I like apples!

A squiggly little worm into my apple bit.
He chomped and chomped until the core he hit.
I asked him why he did it,
And thought it sopunds absurd,
He said, "I love apples."
Now that is what I heard

Songs

Apple

I know a fruit that grows on trees,

I saw this idea at WKA
Make a book of all the things we use apples
for in our daily lives. Title:
Apples Are Useful
page 1 We grow apples. ( picture of an orchard)
page 2 We eat apples. (picture of an apple).
page 3 We make applesauce. (picture of it)
page 4 We drink apple juice. ( picture of it)
page 5 We use vinegar. ( picture of bottle )
an explanation of how we use vinegar and what it is will be needed.
page 6 We drink apple cider. (picture) An explanation will be needed.
This would be a great book to make after a field trip to the orchard.
You can make as many pages as your group will be interested. More ideas:
We make pie. We plant seeds. We pick apples.
Idea from Hummingbirded
