Johnny Appleseed, American Folk Legend, made and appearance on his birthday, September 26! We read a book about him and watched this really funny video about him. The kids learned about Johnny and how important he was to our country!
We also began learning a bit about poetry with our Apples poem and learned that apples can be red, yellow or green, but definitely NOT blue! YUCK! Learning our color words is an important part to the beginning of kindergarten. We will be focusing on reading and identifying these color words for a long time to come!
To cap off our Apple Week, we read Ten Apples Up On Top! by Theo LeSieg. The kids had to trace their numbers from 1-10, color their apples red, green or yellow, and then put the apples in numerical order.

| Number tracing and coloring in the lines are great fine motor activities you can do at home! |
 |
| Cutting is a great fine motor activity, too! |
This activity is fun, BUT also very important. We use a lot of skills during this activity including find motor skills for the tracing, coloring, and cutting, and then using our math skills to remember our number order from 1-10.
