After a oral telling of "The Apple Story" students work to respond to the text. The story depicts a young boy on a quest to find "a house with now windows, no doors and a star inside." This kicks off our science unit on apples,pumpkins, farming and harvest.
Children learn quickly that one of the main character building traits of kindergarten is learning to share. There is never enough scissors, staplers or glues sticks for everyone. This is purposeful. In all things, we will share. In every lesson, we practice.
At the climax and our story the teacher cuts an apple down its middle. Every year there is a collective gasp!
