Apple Centers in Mrs. Dye's room

We traced our hands in order to make the trunk of the tree.  Next we will paint green leaves using a sponge and red apples using a cork!

We are doing a good job following directions in order to paint apple trees.

These apple trees are growing nicely!

Playing a 'Memory' game with reading vocabulary.  Which apples should I choose?

We followed directions to make apple smiles!

Look at our Apple smiles!  Lots and lots of white teeth!

We are trying to match the reading vocabulary words.

One pretty apple tree....where are the apples?

 

 

The children in Mrs. Stites' first grade class mixed with Mrs. Dye's first grade class in order to celebrate Johnny Appleseed's birthday.  While in Mrs. Dye's class, the children painted apple trees by first tracing around their hand and arm to make the trunk.  Then they painted the leaves green using a sponge.  For the last step, they put on bright red apples using a cork.   They made 'Apple Smiles' by following directions and using 2 apple slices, peanut butter and marshmallows.  What a fun smile!  The third station was a 'Memory' game, where the children uncovered and tried to match Reading vocabulary words by turning over two apple cards.  What a fun, fun day!
