A is for Apple

September is National Apple Month and we kicked it off in style with our Apple storytime.  We got to do an apple hide and seek, an apple count and an apple craft.  We traced our hands with brown crayons and then used fingerpaint and apple half to add apples to our trees... Awesome (Yay! another A word).  How many apples do you see on this page?

One of our favorite rhymes today was called Apples and it goes like this:

Way up high in the apple tree  
 (Stretch arms in air)
Two little apples smiled at me
(Make two fists)I shook the tree as hard as I could  
 (Shake arms in air)
And down came the apples 
  (Drop fists to floor)
Mmmmm, they were good! 
  (Rub tummy)
Next week's theme will be Owls!  Whoooo knows what stories and rhymes we will do then?
