How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World by Marjorie Priceman

No, it’s not apple pie! We enjoy apple crisp more, so this was our special snack. Long ago we purchased numerous big books – one on the life cycle of apples worked well for several science lessons, and we used this printable to document our learning.įor my preschooler, this simple and sweet youtube video made the concept stick: Come on Mom, I guess he has grown up some! 🙂

O-kay… he used to love this activity - last year. Halfway through, he said “Mom, this is a little boring.” I offered my preschooler to paint ‘apples’ on an apple tree using our do a dot markers. The amount of printables for apple activities is abundant online! I’ve listed the ones above on my Pinterest Five in a Row page. Of course, there was patterning as well - this seems a staple, fun activity each row! Using our magnetic apples we did simple hands-on problems – how many 1/4s make a half?, etc. Preschool consisted of dividing the apple into pieces and counting parts, and talking about 1/2 or whole apples.įor 1st grade we also include 1/3 and 1/4 fraction practice. In math, we did lots of work with fractions. Our fabric map came from Amazon, most figures from our In the Country game from Haba (couldn’t find this, but ebay may have it. The boys enjoyed placing items in the correct geographical location as we read the story. Here’s what our crew did weeks ago my preschooler was 38 months, and my 1st grader weeks shy of 7 yrs old.įirst, we toured the world! The book’s premise is in order to make an apple pie, a young girl travels around the globe picking the freshest ingredients from where they grow best. Full of opportunity for great lessons as well. If you haven’t read How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World, it’s a gem of a book for young children. Oh, this book by far has been my favorite row - which is exactly why we took three weeks to complete! The freedom in homeschooling, yes?
