A Bushel of Apples

The Busy Bee’s are Buzzing about Apples. We have been extra Busy learning all about Apples.

Our Bubble Map…We started by asking the children what they know about apples…what color are apples, where can you get apples, to label the parts of the apple…as we started to learn and discover more and more we would revisit our bubble map and add to our learning. 

In math we counted apples for the apple trees…working on number recognition and one to one correspondence.  The Busy Bees also worked on number sequence by placing numbers into numeric sequence from 1 to 10.

 

We finger painted apples and made stain glass apples to hang around the classroom.  The stain glass apples worked on fine motor development as the Busy Bees cut the outlines out and tore the tissue paper. 

Our classroom is becoming the perfect apple orchard.

 

The Busy Bee’s were excited to learn that A is for apples.  We worked on Busy Bee names that begin with the letter A and that letter sound of letter A.  The Bees also worked on sorting and matching…we picked upper and lower case A apples to place in our basket while making the /a/ sound as we placed them in our basket.

   

The Busy Bee Orchard is Open and learning is taking place.
