Math and Science with APPLES!

During our apple unit, we have enjoyed doing some
fun lessons and activities!

Here are a few of our math 
and science apple activities:

Our math lessons have been centered around measurement.
Shorter and longer are two of our measurement words.

In relation to measurement, we listened to
the story, Rumpelstiltskin. 

Afterwards, we predicted how many letters
we thought were in his name.
We wrote down our predictions and
then counted to find out.
There are 14 letters in his name! WOW!

We have been comparing our names all week to
see who has the longest and shortest names in our classroom.


In science, we measured our apples using cubes.  

Check out Cherlin's apple. It is 3 cubes tall.

Hayden is measuring his apple.

During math, we played "Spin an Apple."
After we spun, we graphed which color apple we landed on.

We love building graphs!

Here is Connor measuring his apple during science.

We practiced writing our numbers from 1-20 during math too!

Here is my yellow table friends playing a math card game
and working on fall number puzzles.

Justin and Kellen are measuring their apples and
recording their findings in their apple report book.

We can't wait for tomorrow!
More photos to come!
It's going to be a blast!
