Apple Week - Hands on Activities and Free Downloads

OOH.... Apple week activities! We have had a lot of fun with apple week in the past. Let's do a walk down memory lane, shall we? 

I always give them a folder filled with the pages that we'll use for the week. Most of the activities come from my Hands-On Learning with Apples pack.  That way, I'm not constantly passing out papers and they can all go home at once. 

Of course, we have to taste test apples and chart our favorite. It's a great time to talk about the data, too. 

One of our favorite activities is to do AppleJacks Math, which is in THIS FREE file. 

I also love using Scholastic News. I actually keep all of my Scholastic News articles and don't send them home. That way if the next year, they don't have one that fits my theme for the week, then I still have left over from previous years. 

We do a lot of hands on activities too, during our Apple Day- although these days, I'm not sure how much people are able to do with volunteers right now. But these definitely doable as a whole group activity, I've done it before.

and let's not forget....homemade applesauce in crockpot. Which makes the room smelly YUMMY

You can find a lot of these apple activities HERE.
