Apple Math Activities

Izzie and Mac had so much fun using the balance, which was found at a local used curriculum sale for only $1!

Red play food apples, felt apples, one real Granny Smith apple, and a bucket of unifix cubes....let the balancing begin!

Matching up numbers to correct amount of apple seeds. Cards can be found here.

Then, matching number words to correct numeral.

Apple die-cuts were found at the Dollar Tree! I simply wrote the number words on each.

In order for Izzie to self-check, I wrote the correct numeral on the back of each number word.

Curious to know what other apple activities the girls completed, check out the Apple Unit (some free printables)!

Hop over to Homeschool Creations for more Preschool/Kindergarten ideas!

Johnny Appleseed

The book of the day was Johnny Appleseed. The girls thought is was so silly to wear a pot on their head!

We had planned to pretend to be Johnny Appleseed, by wearing pots outside and roaming the yard, while tossing apple seeds. However, the rain postponed our plans.

Izzie did complete several worksheets from The Mailbox. I always love finding handouts that relate to the theme!

Apple Tree Handprints

I love anything and everything created from handprints! So, of course, the girls had to make a handprint apple tree!

The book of the day was The Season of Arnold's Apple Tree.

New Sight Words' Printables!

During the apple unit, Izzie learned several new sight words...on, have, and, had, can.

I found these apple die cuts at the dollar tree!

After Izzie practiced the sight words, I turned them all over, then she randomly drew one at a time. Each time, she would say the word, then dot it on the handout.

Apple Sight Words

Izzie cannot get enough of this activity. She is always so excited to see which sight word is going to get to 10 first!

Roll and Graph Sight Words

Another sight word activity...a new favorite!

There are two different handouts.

Apple Sight Words Can Have On

Apple Sight Words Had and On

Reading simple sentences with new sight words, then matching correct color apple.

The different color apples can be found at Confessions Of A Homeschooler.

Apple Pocket Chart Reader Sight Words CAN HAVE

Writing simple apple sentences using new sight words and color words, then coloring the apple the correct corresponding color.

Apple Writing

The book of the day was Apple Picking Time.

Enjoy!

Wordless Wednesday: Apples!

Another gorgeous day at the orchard...

We can never get enough apple cider donuts!

Apple Picking Words!

Izzie has been learning to sound out CVC words, during the apple unit, she focused on the --ad family words and --ag family words.

Using the blending mat to sound out the CVC words.

Short a Word Families

Sounding out, writing, and coloring the apples the corresponding color. Izzie loves doing these types of handouts, mainly she enjoys doing some independent work!

Apple Word Families (Ag and Ad)

Storytime From A to Z: Ten Red Apples Up On Top

This week at Coop, the Storytime From A to Z letter was "T" and we read the book, "Ten Apples Up On Top".

Before our lesson, we talked about the different types and colors of apples. And, they even had a taste test to determine which apple taste they preferred....Jonagold, Granny Smith, or Golden delicious apples. Izzie's favorite apple is Jonagold, which I'm thankful because we picked a ton at the orchard!

They colored the apple on their Letter T handout to reflect which apple they liked best during the taste test. As I read the book, they colored the Letter T.

Afterward, they began their apple print masterpieces!

As we waited for the paintings to dry, the girls played took turns to see how many apples they could toss in the basket.

Here's our version of the game at home...

Mac was getting a little competitive, so she decided it was easier to get closer to the basket!

Field Trip: Apple Picking

We had an apple pickin' good time with friends up on the mountain!

Learning a lot about the orchard from the educational presentation.

Then, off on the hayride around the orchard! The girls really enjoyed the bumpy ride!

Afterward, we scattered into the orchard to pick a lot of apples!

Taste testing the apples!

We ended the day with apple cider donuts and apple cider!

An excellent way to spend the day with friends and we picked enough apples for a dozen apple pies!
