A humble bucket of apples sparked a week-long apple inquiry project, a journey through comprehensive learning encompassing literacy, numeracy, art, and even culinary exploration.
Throughout the week, students eagerly immersed themselves in a diverse array of activities that both tickled their taste buds and challenged their minds. The highlight of their adventure was the creation of homemade applesauce. With an easy-to-follow recipe and the help of an Instant Pot, the class was rewarded with what they unanimously agreed to be "the best applesauce ever."
Students then participated in apple-themed literacy exercises, igniting their imaginations while refining their reading skills. This was complemented by numeracy challenges and apple-themed counting activities, providing an engaging pathway for them to explore mathematical concepts.
Creativity filled the air as apple stamping led students to create collaborative art pieces. These projects not only nurtured self-expression but also sparked intriguing conversations about mathematical concepts, particularly those related to part-whole relationships.
