Apples!

For the past 2 weeks, we have been doing lots of apple themed learning.  The littles have been working really hard on all the apple activities and have had a blast.  Today we worked on our apple stained glass mosaics.  I am pretty sure that this idea came from Cara Carroll over at thefirstgradeparade.blogspot.com.  It is relatively simple to get ready and the littles think it is the coolest.  Which is REALLY important in 1st grade!

 

 

 

We also have learned a bit about Mr. Johnny Appleseed.  We wrote about our learning in writing and included it in a craftivity.  I got this idea from a free download on TPT.  I wish I could give credit to the originator, but I only printed out the template and didn't fully download the other materials. Sorry! 

 

"Johnny Appleseed he met a wolf the wolf died." 

I am including a few other photos of the classroom.  We have been in session for a little over a month...I wish I would have taken the photos when the room was still bright and shiny.  But, alas....life (first grade) happens :)
