Letter A - Day 2

To make this easier on everyone, I will try to only post once a week and tell of all the fun activities we do for the letter all week in one post, however, I wanted to finish up Letter A today.

So, yesterday we made Crockpot applesauce - my house smelled delicious and it tasted so good - warm cinnamon applesauce - yummy! (Yes, I counted the points for Weight Watchers!) Today, we stated the day making paper Airplanes, sorting apple shapes by colors and sizes, and making apple stamp pictures for our Alphabet Soup Books we will put together by the end of the year.  We then went outside to fly our paper airplanes and look for more acorns (we now have a huge bucket full of acorns - I can feel the angry stares of the squirrels every time we go outside! )  When we came back inside, we made apple prints and talked about the star you can find inside an apple.  We also read Under the Apple Tree and practiced tracing an apple outline on paper so I can get an idea how close the kids are to learning to trace the letters of the alphabet.  So next week, on to the Letter B!
