Next came our “apple basket” name activity. Every student had a ‘basket’ (a paper sack with a handle and their name printed clearly on the front) Uppercase apples were in one ‘orchard’, and the lowercase apples were spread face-up on our rug. A visit to the uppercase orchard started the hunt for their names. After they ‘picked’ their uppercase apple and put it in their basket, we moved to the rest of their name! They were so excited that they could find their letters, and that they got to keep the apples with the letters of their name. My hope is that some of them will take it home and work on spelling and recognizing their own names as well as learning the letters in their names…it is a fantastic activity!
With our sensory bin, filled with tiny apples, and apple pie smell, our dramatic play apple orchard, apple tasting station, and all of our apple math and literacy connections…we never ran out of engaging activities, and we never stopped learning! |
