We were fortunate to have a big bucket of apples donated to us by one of our students' families so this week was all about those apples! We made hypotheses about which was heavier - a pumpkin or an apple? ...And then hypothesized about which of the two would roll faster down a hill. Our big buddies came with us to test our theories on the hill by Spirit Square. They helped us to record our results. We also did some apple art. We cut apples in half and noticed how if we cut them in one particular way, we got a star pattern from the seeds. Another fun realization was that there are just as many seeds inside the apple as there are petals on the flower that eventually becomes an apple. After cutting our apples in half, we used them to stamp fall colours onto paper. Finally today, with the help of some brave moms, we glued sticks and leaves onto our apple art to create fall trees. And the BEST part was making some very yummy apple sauce! It turned out SOOOO yummy! Everyone in the school was stopping by our classroom to smell the wonderful scent. Thanks again to our brave moms and to the family that donated the apples!
