Fall Apples Activities!

"Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn."

   

- Elizabeth Lawrence

Fall is one of my favorite seasons! I love going to Nashville, Brown County State Park, Musgraves Orchard, eating fall foods, wearing sweaters... my list could really go on forever. 

This week our class did a TON of fun fall activities. We discussed the apple's life cycle, created a concept map of apples, did apple patterns, graphed apples by color followed by questions, completed 10 -ag words with 10 apples up on top, and made apple sauce in the crock pot!

               
                  {Apple Sauce}

Cook on high for 4 hours in the crock pot.

Combine the following ingredients:

• 20 apples (mixed, half peeled)
• 1/4 cup of sugar
• 6 TBSP cinnamon 
• 2 TBSP honey
• Splash of lemon

Easy, delicious, and healthy!

Graphing Apples!

Before bringing out the bucket of apples, we checked out our graph. We discussed that the title of our graph is what we are graphing, the different groups of apples we are graphing, and the questions related to our graph so we could "look" for those answers as we graph. 

Once we understood what we were graphing, I brought out the bucket of apples. We graphed each apple one at a time until the bucket was empty. Then we answered the questions based off of our graph. 

Autumn: noun. British Isles used the term autumn 

in the 1300's as the phrase "the fall of a leaf."
