a picture of each child in the class and make your own of Apples On Top book. Get apple
stickers or pre-cut apples and glue or stick the apples above the child’s picture like there are apples on their head.

add water, cinnamon and sugar. Cook for a few hours in the classroom so the children can enjoy the aroma.

so that the children can taste each one. After each child has tasted the apples graph which one was the
favorite? In advance make your graphing sheet with the different types of apples at the top (red, green,
yellow). Have a batch of pre-cut apples in the different colors. When the children tell
you which one is their favorite write their name on that color apple. Have the child place it under their
favorite apple. Count out loud the number of apple under each color apple write that number at the bottom.
Which one has the most apples?
