Here you will find reading readiness and math activities to use with your Apple Thematic Unit. If you scroll to the bottom I have listed some apple recipes to use after you read the story The Little Red House With No Windows, No Doors and a Star Inside. I give each student 10 small apples numbered 1-10 to cut out.
Pattern apples that have a stem and no stem.
Graph favorite foods made with apples. Old Favorite Way up high in the apple tree All the little apples smiled at me. I make a large paper apple tree and we use numbered apple cut outs for a counting, number recognition activity by substituting the word All in the poem with a number of apples. This is also a great introduction to addition an subtraction through 10 for those that are able to make that connection at such an early time in the kindergarten year. I also use this poem for number recognition.
