Walking by the Way

A is for Apple

Please read the information about Read to Me & ABC here

Read to Me

Our main book of the week was The Apple Pie Tree by Zoe Hall. 

Alphabet Art- Apple A

Supplies
A Pattern (I used the large capital A)
glue
red pompoms (I wanted smaller ones, but I had to go with what I had on hand)
green crayon

Glue on red pompoms and add some leaves and a stem with the crayon. A simple tactile apple-d A for your preschooler to enjoy! 

Lessons & Lapbook

I used some of the lessons and lapbook from Homeschool Share and printables from the Alphabet Notebook.  I also made an Apple Tree Math Mat for the back of the file folder.  You can find it here. 

Simon stamped As on the apple

The pocket holds the pieces for the math mat on back.

Instead of putting the sequence strips in a pocket, I glued each one down to the file folder.  I added velcro to make it a game that can be played over and over again. 

Simon loved the math mat!  :)

Let’s Make a Memory ~ Silly Face Caramel Apples

Here is a simple recipe for Caramel Apples if you haven’t made them before. You can make really yummy apples (think white chocolate drizzle and chopped nuts) or you can make really fun apples.  We opted for funny faces using an assortment of candy.
