Apples in Preschool 3 !

 🍎 Apples, Apples Everywhere! 🍎

Our preschool 3 class has been busy diving into our very first theme of the school year—apples! September is the perfect time to explore this favorite fruit, and the children loved discovering all the different ways we could learn, taste, create, and explore with apples.

One of the highlights was our apple taste test. The children sampled red, yellow, and green apples, and then we worked together to graph our favorites. Not only did this activity spark great conversation about taste and color, but it also gave us a fun introduction to math and data collection.

We also got creative with apple stamping using real apple slices. The kids loved seeing the star shape hidden inside each apple, and they made colorful patterns and prints on their papers. This activity connected with our art focus while letting the children experiment with shapes, colors, and textures.

Throughout the week, we read several apple-themed stories that inspired curiosity and imagination. The children especially enjoyed looking closely at apple seeds and talking about how apples grow. We even made some special apple art projects to display in the classroom.

This first unit was such a sweet way to start our school year. The apple theme allowed us to bring together literacy, math, science, and art—all while having fun and making discoveries together.

We’re off to a wonderful start, and we can’t wait to see what we’ll learn next!
