Today was Apple Day in Second Grade at Mill Valley! The kids had a great time learning about Johnny Appleseed, various types of apples, the diagram of an apple and measuring with apples! In my room, the students made predictions as to how many apples tall they and they're partners were. Then the kids measured themselves. They were given a certain amount of apples and had to come up with a way to continue counting when they ran out! After they measured themselves, they had to describe whether or not their predictions were correct. If they weren't, how many apples off were they? Lastly, they had to take a string and wrap it around their largest apple. Then lay the string flat on a ruler to measure in inches how many inches around the apple was.
I think they had a great time and learned a lot!
