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.
Lapbook Note: 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.
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 (white chocolate drizzle and chopped nuts) or you can make really fun apples. We opted for funny faces using an assortment of candy.

The caramel apples are awesome! I like how you said “let’s make a memory”. I sometimes forget that is really what we are doing and that’s what it’s all about.
Thank you so much for sharing all of these great ideas. I just stumbled upon your site and have been so blessed and encouraged by it. Thank you!!
Ami,
I tried to download some of the attachments & they wern’t found. I tried the Apple Tree Math Mat & a couple around it. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you!
We are working on fixing the links. We are trying something new at Homeschool Share, and it’s giving us tons of problems.
Thanks for being patient! 🙂 Ami
