We were so excited for our Apple Taste Test as we kicked off our Unit on The Five Senses!!!

We learned all about the parts of an apple, different types of apples, how and where they grow and most importantly... HOW THEY TASTE!!!!

Then we voted for our FAVORITE COLOR APPLE!!!

It was a SECRET BALLOT!!

We compared and discussed our results!

What is YOUR favorite color apple?

Then we made our own little a apples!!

Be sure to ask your little apple farmer what apple seeds are called!

Our Five Day Friends had so much fun with the storybook "Apples On Top!"

Be sure to ask them all about it!

Then we played a really fun sponge painting game!!

Our masterpieces are now on display on our classroom fireplace mantle! 

Our Five Day Friends loved using our dot markers to "spot" all the letter A apples!!

Aa is for Acorns!!

After reading a really sweet storybook about an acorn, we used our fine motor skills to make really cool acorn hats!

They will soon be on display in our classroom gallery!

We used our PENCILS for the first time in PreK-3!!

Our Super Star Posters are INCREDIBLE and so our our little presenters' public speaking skills!!

Well done everyone!!
