Apples Apples and More Apples

 Last week was all about apples.  We started the week by reading the story How Do Apples Grow. 

Before reading the book, we shared our prior knowledge, or as Mrs. Wanke calls it, our schema. We wrote our prior knowledge down on Post-It notes and added them to the schema section of our chart.   After reading the story, we added new learning to our chart.  Mrs. Wanke explained that this new learning will eventually become part of our schema.  PROOF we are learning and growing our brains!

Later in the week we read How to Grow an Apple Pie and See the World.  

As we listened to this story we followed along on a map of the world.  It was fun to see all the places around the world. 

To end our week we made our own mini apple pies, apple turnovers! YUMMY!
