Kindergarten has been learning all about apples! We've studied, observed, investigated, & even ate a variety of apples in class!
On Fridays we play a fun sight word/trivia game that I created a few years ago. We like to call it "Erase My _____" game. We form two teams & then each team takes turns answering a question about sight words/math/science/reading/etc. If they answer the question correctly then they get to shoot the "basketball" into the hoop a.k.a. a clean trash can ;) The kiddos then get to erase 1 item on the board.. 2 if they get the ball in the basket! We had to include apples in our apple tree for this one! I then let each group decide on what animal/object they'd like to have drawn by the teachers. The girls chose a kitten wearing a Johnny Appleseed hat & the boys chose a shark wearing a Johnny Appleseed hat! The first to erase the whole picture wins!
I love these two photos of the girls and boys huddling up to decide what animal their team wants to be!
