A Is For Apple...

Hey Kinder Friends,

Let's just call the first few weeks...busy to say the least. I mean really the beginning is almost a distant memory for sure. And things were moving right along and then all of the sudden boom Open House. I honestly found myself a little frantic as the day approached. I had nothing to display and really nothing I could pull off with a very large class. We had been reading a lot of books about names and working hard to learn how to write names so somewhere in the middle of creating nameplates for each student and adding names to every book box and locker this idea just came to be.

Honestly, I love just about anything you can print and run with because time is so precious during the school year. I created these printable templates for this apple craft so that I would have something to use as we work on writing names and also use to hang in the hallway for Open House. I ended up just loving these because of their simplicity to prepare and pull off for a fast and fun Open House project.  

 I used the colored card stock I had on hand so there really was no rhyme or reason or even pattern to the colors but somehow that just came together for me this time. I decided that for this project I would cut the apple pieces because I wanted them to focus on their name and I had to get this project accomplished with 27 kids in one morning session and hung up even before the glue was dry.

When all was said and done and I turned to leave for the day, I looked back and saw the apples all hanging in a row it just looked like...Kindergarten. And I got so excited that I went home and made the templates for a P is for pumpkin craft. So, if you find yourself in a bind for a little apple or pumpkin craft and need more information just click on the images above!

 

An Apple A Day!

 

Hey Kinder Friends,

If you are like me you are probably starting to think about your school friends right about now. And maybe you are thinking of getting them a little something to start the year off on a little positive note. If so, I have the simple crafty, teachery thing for you! You know nothing says "school" more than an apple. So, if you are looking around for something to make for those teacher friends it just can't get any more simple than this.

All you are really going to need in an apple cutter. I was lucky enough to find mine in the dollar gadget section of Albertson's grocery store. You can find apple cutters at most any grocery store. You just need the apple cutter, ribbon and the free printable you see here. All you do is print, cut and assemble. It just can't be any more simple because I am sure you have enough on your plate already! So, if you are ready to get a little bit crafty just click on the apple printable picture to take you to the freebie download!

I Love Apples And Always Will!



 

Hello Kinder Friends,

It's been a fast week and we have had a little fun. I was on the hunt for a few new apple books and this one is my new favorite. If you are an apple or dog lover you will want to get your hands on Apple Pie ABC. It was a perfect book to go along with some writing lessons we were working on several weeks ago.

 

 

Before we got down to some serious apple work we had to have a little apple sorting fun because as soon as I came to school with a big bag of apples everyone wanted a closer look.

 

 

 

 And then we got to work because it's...

 

 

 

 And we had some serious work to do...

 

Real serious work!

 

 

And just like that and into the pot it goes.

 

No recipe...just a wish and a hope and a prayer...

 

 

And boy was it good!

 

 

I just love apples what can I say? They remind me of childhood and kindergarten today, tomorrow and yesterday!
