September 25, 2013 Story Time - Apples


If you missed this weeks story time here is what we did:

(*marks the books we read)



Apples, Apples Everywhere!  by Robin Koontz*
Ten Apples Up On Top  by Theo LeSieg
Red Are the Apples  by Wade Zahares
Apple  by Nikki McClure
Apple Tree  by Barrie Watts
I Am An Apple  by Jean Marzollo*
Apples  by Ann L. Burckhardt

Our craft was an apple basket. We added red, green and yellow apples to our basket then wrote our names and the number of apples on our baskets. I changed the way we did our basket, but found the idea at:http://www.busybeekidscrafts.com/Apple-Basket.html

Extra activities:

We cut an apple open to examine and count the seeds or pips on the inside and talked about how an apple tree grows.

Ten Red Apples
Ten red apples grow on a tree
Five for you and five for me
Help me shake the tree just so
And ten red apples fall down below
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10

Apple Roll Chant
Five little apples in the bowl (hold up five fingers)
One fell out and started to roll (rotate fists)
It bumped the table and hit me feet (clap hands)
How many apples left to eat? (shrug shoulders)

Keep counting down until all the apples are gone
