We read the book ten apples this week. What fun counting book! The farmer tries to count the apples and his animals want to eat them. This book is filled with humor, problem solving and cute pictures.
What did we do with the book Ten Apple?
JDaniel’s job was to put the pieces in order and then glue them onto a piece of blue paper. It took a lot of figuring to get the pieces just right.
Then I took away all the odd numbered sets of buttons and we counted by twos. We could have added the button onto the apple cores by twos instead. Maybe we will do that next time.
3 Dinosaurs made a wonderful apple yarn craft to go with the book Up, Up, Up! It’s Apple Picking Time!

also, were your ears burning yesterday? we pulled into the Harley Shop here and the car parked at the entrance had a memorable car tag: JDANIEL — Marc was like… “Hey, do you think that could be JDANIELSMOM here?” I was surprised that not only did he remember that … he got the name right to!

I linked up as requested. I didn’t originally because I wasn’t sure if my post followed the guidelines. Love your Ten Red Apples ideas. That’s a book I’ll be using for my next unit.
Bonny Yokeley says
Your Ten Red Apples projects are awesome. You make me miss teaching preschool with such great activities that correspond with children’s literature. I’ll have to do this with my daughter once she’s old enough.
