More Apple Fun

We continue to look at apples and used them to measure each other.  One person in the group would lay down on the ground and then the others would put apple pictures beside them.  We then counted the apples as a group and each person wrote down how many apples tall they are.
     
                    

Next we all sat down as a group and did a taste test.  Yummy! We counted to three and then popped a small piece of apple in our mouth.  We tried to decide which apple we like the best. So many of the children do a good job of remembered the name of the apple they liked the best.  As we cut into the apple we could see the core of the apple which was kind of an oval shape when you cut one way, but when you cut the other way we saw a star.  After talking about the taste being sweet, tart, tangy (all words from the children) we picked the apple we liked the best and coloured a paper apple that colour.  We laid them out on the carpet to see which apples were liked the most and which were liked the least.  We learnt another big word, Pictograph!  It is just a fancy graph where we use pictures to represent numbers (easier for us to count and analyze).
