After out visit to Lattin's Cider Mill yesterday we had to have a good school day of apples. Holly enjoyed it so much and has asked to do the same with pumpkins in a few weeks... I'll be organizing that very soon. In the mean time today was filled a lot of apple fun - inspecting an apple, revisiting the parts of an apple, seed estimation, tasting various kinds and comparing, watching a video on the apple industry and orchards, discussing the health benefits of apples, reading a few books, apple stamping, sentence organizing and writing, an experiment and more!
With all of these projects on tap I had Holly work on a lapbook - a great way to keep all of her work. A lapbook seems to break up the daily grind of reading, writing & recording. She loves them and so do I. This is a pretty basic lapbook but one that Holly could do all by herself with little help from me... meaning she feels very proud when she is finished!
I was thinking about doing a lapbook about apples too! Would you mind sharing where you got it?! :)

We were bummed to miss this trip but just couldn't peel them out of bed after being up late at AWANA! :)
I'm so impressed with all those fun apple projects! How many did you eat?
ReplyDeleteWe have a couple of apple trees but for some reason this year they didn't do as well as usual. We got one big basket but I don't think we'll be able to freeze a bunch of pies this time around.
What fun! We did one of these last year using most of the same elements as you did! Lots of fun. This year we plan to work on a pumpkin lapbook -- maybe in October!
ReplyDeleteI love your lapbook. It looks great! Thanks for linking to Science Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI love Autumn and apples! The lapbook looks wonderful - your daughter did such a beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteI am searching for the Lapbook. Where can I find it?
