A is for Apple

We learned about the letter a this week, which, of course, meant that we got to spend lots of time with apples! We checked them out and found the star of seeds in the middle.

Then we painted with cut up apples. This picture so clearly captures our personalities... I am carefully trying to get the stem of the apple so that I don't get any paint on me, while Riley Cates is covered in paint already!

Later in the week, we cut out the apples we painted and made patterns.

We also practiced recognizing numbers and putting them in order. And by we, I mean that I did that. Riley Cates was much more interested in combing my hair!

We also played a game with pretend apples. I had to count the dots on the dice and put that many apples on the tree.

We painted lots this week, which is always a favorite thing of ours to do. We made an apple tree!

And we even painted with an apple that was rolling around in a box! That was pretty cool!

We made apples that looked like we had eaten them. Riley Cates gets so serious when she is working! She also uses enough paint to paint a house, but whatever.

I got to practice graphing different kinds of apples.

And we turned a letter a into an apple to help us remember what a says!

Oh, I almost forgot that my favorite part of the week was the yummy apple snacks we made!

We got to make AND EAT!!! apple fritters!

Yummy!

And Mommy made some delicious apple cinnamon bread that we had with our breakfast this morning. I like weeks when we get to cook and eat special things!

And here is the wall of some of our work for this week!
