Apple Week!

Hey y'all!  I updated my Fun with Apples unit, finally, and I'm loving the new things I added.  This was our apple week and so of course, all of our centers were apple themed.  All of the activities below can be found in my Apple Unit Here.  If you already own it, go re-download it for tons of new stuff!

Practicing counting with ten-frames.  
 Apple puzzles...we matched numbers to number words.
 Ordering Numbers on Apples
 Our fave!  We grabbed a clipboard and walked around the room to count the apples on "Johnny's" head.

 Here, we counted sets and wrote the number.
 Reading sight words 4 times...I used 4 different fonts just to get them used to the fact that words may look different, but it's still the same word.
 We sorted apples into baskets by vowels and not vowels
 Here we practiced first sounds in words
 Here, the student picked 1 apple from the tree...if it had an A or a they wrote it on their paper.  If it didn't, they put it back and did nothing.
 Here is an apple shown that has a t, so they student turned it over and waited until their next turn.
 We are really practicing on learning how to read our number words, so here they had to roll the cube, write the number on an apple and glue it to the tree.
 On this game, they rolled the vowel cube and dotted beside the correct vowel.  The first vowel to reach the end wins!
 For this game, the students had to walk around the room and find "Johnny".  They wrote the letter that was on his pot on their paper.  Last, they had to write the letters in ABC order.

Leave a comment below and I'll give my apple unit to someone!  
Thanks for reading my blog!
