It's Apple Pickin' Time!

 Apple season means Fall is just around the corner! And Fall means no more blazing heat, the endless beginning of the year testing is done, and my kiddos are starting to get into a routine!  Yay!

Here's a little peek at some of our apple adventures!

We've been working with adverbs and collective nouns and made these little bushel basket booklets.
Inside we explained what a collective noun is then compared it to a proper noun.

You can find this little bushel booklet activity for FREE in my post on Owl-ways Be Inspired!

We also made these little apples to hang on our apple tree!

These are some of our apple adverbs.  Identifying an adverb has been really tricky for
some of my kiddos.
We used Christina Bainbridge's Hunting for Adverbs Classroom Hunt 
as a literacy center, which my kiddos loved, and was a HUGE help!

Since we've been learning about the properties of matter in science, we had some
crackers with our apples!

Have you seen these? They're Scrabble tile Cheez-Its! How fun is that?
We used them this week to practice our spelling words!

Well, this was a short week for me! Hence the lack of pictures.
Our oldest moved out of state this summer and is home for a visit!
I wanted to spend every minute I could with him while he was home so I took
not one, but TWO days off! GASP! It's the first time in 6 years I've used
a personal day. Saving up days is much easier when your own children are older
but it's really just a sign of
how much I REALLY would rather do just about anything but don't like planning for a sub! Ha!

Happy Apple Season, friends!
