At circle time today, we read Under the Apple Tree, to start our new theme about apples! In our first small group activity, we counted apple seeds on one half of an apple and found the other half that had the matching number. In our second small group, we had apples with uppercase and lowercase E, our letter of the week. We sorted the apples by color (red, yellow, and green) and matched the letters. We came together for our third activity, painting! We got to use half of a real apple as a stamp to make a picture. We had a great day!
