Cutting apples with knives (plastic)

When I told all the kids I was going to give them knives today to cut apples they all looked at me crazy. So I asked them if they have used one before. Of course some of them said they use them. lol Yes it was not an easy project cutting apples with plastic knifes, but after I cut them into pieces then they were able to cut smaller pieces.

We talked about Johnny Appleseed and how he planted apple seeds across the US. We also read a story about him. All week the kids kept saying his name and asking questions about him. Here are our Johnny Appleseed hats. U can see they wore them most of the day. Evie kept calling herself Johnny.

Apples Apples Apples

RED, YELLOW, GREEN, colors of the apples. Here is our apple book we made.

Pick a color of an apple, paint 2 plates, stuff them with paper, staple them together, and add a stem.

I layed out red, yellow, or green tissue paper and some stems to decorate an apple plate.

Numbers

The kids are suppose to dot the # of dots for which each box says and trace the #s.

New School Year 2011

We started out working on our names, wrote in white crayon then watercolored.

Made our own green playdough, green is the color the kids picked out.

Necklace making, only because I had extra help. The kids went around the table with little cups and picked out the colored beads and colored noodles that they wanted.

And guess what??? Forgot to get a picture of the finished product. They all turned out so cute and so colorful, some made a pattern, while others just kinda beaded it together.

Jayden must of had a long night, this was in the morning. He just fell asleep on this little couch while the room was quite loud with all the kids. It didn't phase him at all.
