Apple Activities & Apple Facts!

September 11, 2015 by StudentSavvy Leave a Comment

     Can you believe it’s already September? It’s my favorite time of the year as we near toward fall weather. I love when the leaves turn shades or orange and red. It’s also tradition of ours to go to the local “Apple Hill” in Amador County. There we eat apple doughnuts and drink apple cider- Yum! They also set up cute little shopping boutiques and share information about their local apple trees.
               Many of you in the classroom are teaching your students all about apples and the apple cycle. Here are some fun facts and activities to share with your students!
