Today our Rainbow 4s participated in a culminating activity for our Apple Harvest unit of study. Throughout the week, we learned how apples grow and change with the seasons. We talked about the importance of the farmer, who tends the trees, and gave thanks to God for the providing the rain, the sunshine and the bumblebees to help the apples grow. We learned that there are many varieties of apples. Today we tasted 3 types of apples: Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, and Granny Smith.
We tasted each type of apple. The red apples were sweet.
The yellow apples were sweet and sour.
The green apples were very sour!
After we tasted each variety, we thought about which one we liked best!
Each child placed his or her apple on our apple graph.
We watched carefully to see which variety had the most votes. Once we had all voted, we counted to find out which was the class favorite.
As you can see, it was close, but the Granny Smith's won!
The boys and girls did a great job with this fun math lesson!
