Fruit Trees

Welcome back friends we had such a great week using our Experience Early Learning Curriculum. This week we learned all about fruit trees. Learning about fruit is a fun, hands-on way for children to explore the senses. By incorporating fruit in the classroom, children play fool are you discover about fruit, such as color, smell, feel or text. Children use their sensory skills when exploring the parts of a fruit, such as the skin, it, seeds or flesh.

Inside an Apple

Set up

• Cut an apple in half. Play some pieces on a tray and set out some tweezers.

• Encourage children to use the tweezers to pick out the seeds. (This is a great activity for using fine motor skills.)

During this activity ask the children some questions.

• what does it look like inside an apple?

• Are all apples the same?

• What do apples feel like inside?

• what do apples feel like outside

• 

• 

Rolling for Letters

Each month with experience early learning we focused on three letters this month we our letters are E, L, I.

We have not learned the I yet so we just focused on the letter E and L with this activity.

Set up

• write an E on one side of the apple and an L on the other side.

Discuss & Explore

• What happens when an apple falls off a tree? Where might it roll.

• Show the Apple to the children and encourage them to point to the letter E and the letter L.

• Invite one child at a time to roll the apple and identify the letter facing upward.

Cheery Tree Collage

We had such a great time making cherry trees. The children got to

Explore their imagination by placing sticks off from the tree trunk

On the paper. I love watching the children imagination grow. Next we added heart shaped confetti for the cherry blossoms.

Cherry Letters

We had another great Literacy game

Designed from our preschool curriculum.

We took turns turning over the cherry card and identifying the letter and then placing it on the tree.

As an Experience Early Learning Blog Ambassador, I receive the Experience Early Learning Preschool curriculum in exchange for my honest and authentic stories resulting from our personal experiences. As always, my opinions on awesome stuff for little kids are 100% my own. Keep in mind that all preschoolers do things in their own time and on their own terms. What one is ready for, another might not be. Please use your best mama judgement when planning activities for your little kids. #preschool #homeschool #mgtblogger
