A is for Apple



I think apples are quite possibly the world’s most perfect food!  I LOVE them straight off the tree, baked, fried, in a pie, in a cake, cut up, smashed up, with peanut butter or caramel, etc., etc.,etc.  I can easily see how Eve was tempted by the apple J  Nothing says the beginning of fall like apples and here are some highlights from what we did and learned last week in Tot School:

Our Bible Story for the week was Adam and Eve.  We read from our Bible Storybook each morning. "Miss Priss" also did the coloring sheets from ABC Jesus Loves Me and by our third morning was telling me the story.  Our Bible verse for the week was Psalm19:14.

Song – O Be Careful Little Eyes

Here were some of our letter "A"activities:

Using our dot markers on the letter "A"
 

Adding apple stickers to letter "A"
 
 
 








 

 
We also took a trip to our favorite apple orchard, Mercier Orchards
 
Picking Apples with PaPa
Enjoying an Apple
Listening about the apples on the hayride
 
Snacks:

We had LOTS of apples from our orchard visit so we ate them and we also made Jewish Apple Cake and a couple batches of Apple Butter.  "Miss Priss" helped make our apple cake.  Her favorite parts were chopping the apples and sifting the flour!
