Fall is approaching and that means it is almost time for apple pie, apple cider, and all things apple related! We will be exploring apples, discussing the different types of apples and talking about the parts of an apple. This will probably be a good week to make sure you have plenty of real apples on hand because many of the activities will be using them. Have fun!
NOTE: Some of the activity links go straight to a pin on Pinterest instead of a blog page. Read the description of the pin for the activity instructions. If you are new here, make sure to check out the Themed Curriculum page for more details about how to use this curriculum. Looking for a different theme? Check out all of our themes here.
