Apples to Apples

Kindergarten embarked on our first thematic unit of study, Harvest!
We kicked off our learning with a famed tale of a "house with no doors, no windows, and a star inside". The children were awe struck with Mrs.Kurkinen's ability to implant the five pointed figure in the center of her apple. After a very scientific discussion, we decided that every apple holds its seeds in a star formation... the reason why is still lost on humanity.


Kindergarteners use pattern block paper to recreate the star in the center of their paper apples.

After stuffing the scraps of the project between two congruent shapes, the kindergartners enclose the apples.
