Apples, Apples, Apples this weeks Curriculum

This week I've added a weekly theme to Edwards Homeschool Lessons. This week is apples. Today we stamped with paints and apples. We are doing a science experiment with two pieces of Apples, one has lemon juice on it and the other doesn't. We are going to see what happens to the two pieces of apple. We also about 4 types of Apples at the store today, a granny smith, a honey crisp, a Golden Delicious and a Gala. We tasted them and talked about difference in taste, look and texture. We also made a book about Apples. Tomorrow we will be making another book about apples using words we come up with to describe Apples. We've also been reading a poem by Robert Frost titled: After Apple Picking. This week we are also working on the letters Ee and Ff. Circle is our shape and Yellow, Black and White are our colors. 4 is the number of the week. Our Memory Verses is Genesis 1:3 "God said let there be light and there was light." We have been learning about light and shadows this week. We measured a trees shadow yesterday in the morning, then went back at 2pm to see where the shadow was at that time. Today we used a pencil and a flashlight to see how a sundial worked. We've been reading books on how a apple tree grows an apple and a great book called the Genesis of It All. We have also been working on Rhyming words and Beginning sounds. We have also been working on Edward writing his name all by himself without my hand steadying his. He is doing pretty good at it. We are very proud of him.
