Living Education--Apples Here

This week we covered Apples Here by Will Hubbell

This is a great book written in simple sentences with beautiful artwork.  The A.R. level is 2.2, but it can easily appeal to younger kiddos.


We did several plant and insect realted activities, as well as themed snacks each day.  Here is the nectar smoothies and plant parts review all in one yummy treat.  Who knew studying and reviewing could be so yummy?!  Just don't tell her she is learning!

We also are observing an apple seed that is sprouting, learned the parts of a seed by staining and dissecting a few and made apple prints. This book also touched on the seasons which we will cover more next week.  We added new snack recipes to our themed recipe book.
