Apple Fun!

Over this past week, the first graders have been enjoying many nonfiction books regarding apples and the life cycle of an apple tree.  Student have also discussed the many uses of apples and how they are harvested to provide many yummy foods for us.  Our trip to Wilson's Apple Orchard on Tuesday was definitely a highlight of this unit!  Students enjoyed a tractor ride through the orchard thanks to 'Bessie' the tractor and sampling different varieties of apples.  Ask your child what fact he/she learned about apples from this special trip.  Last, we enjoyed 'cooking' up a tasty apple treat in the classroom with our apples from the apple orchard.  Our 1st grade chefs cooked up apple sandwiches using sunbutter (sunflower spread), granola, chocolate chips and apples.  What a yummy end to our apple fun!

Thank you Wilson's Apple Orchard for providing a lunch shelter out of the rain!
