September 25th
was Johnny Appleseed day. Since we were practicing cutting and gluing in
kindergarten, I decided to change the lesson for my class that day to
incorporate what they had been studying in class.
We drew an apple
together. I gave them a red piece of paper, and white, black, and red crayons.
We looked at a picture of an apple while we drew. We started with a big circle.
Then we added a “smile” where the stem goes. After that, we looked at
highlights and shadows, something I didn’t think kindergarten could understand,
but Mrs. Creasy at Wish Upon a Paintbrush inspired me with her fantastickindergarten apples that you can find here.
After adding
highlights and shadows, we used a red crayon to add lines that gave the apple
some more depth.
Then we cut a brown
stem and a green leaf from paper scraps.
Once it was all cut,
we glued our apples to green paper and decorated the backgrounds.
I loved how these
came out and I hope the parents love having them to decorate for the season.
