It's been a whirlwind so far this year teaching Kindergarten. Most of the pictures I'll be posting come from ClassDojo, so they have kids in them. I'll block out faces best I can.
During our unit on seasons, we spent a week bringing in apples. We used them as math manipulatives all week, and then on Friday we made apple pies! In addition to sorting and graphing by color, you can graph by taste, count the seeds, read about 1,000 books, cut them up and paint with them, discuss fractions, and of course measurement when making the pie.
Our favorite book was Amelia Bedelia's First Apple Pie by Herman Parish. In addition to a great story, it also has a diagram that shows what different kinds of apples look like. My kids were OBSESSED. FOR. DAYS.
