Apple Senses

Wow, this week of school seemed to fly by! We had a lot of fun this week, especially in writing. On Wednesday, the students were surprised after their brain break to come back into the classroom and see three different types of apple slices on their desks. Needless to say, the second graders were excited to test out these different types of apples!

After sampling each of the different types of apples, the students had a job to accomplish. Their job was to write about those apples using their five senses: taste, touch, smell, hearing, and sight. The students came up with many ideas for these different senses. Such as when they think of apples they can smell apple juice or they can hear the crunch from biting into a crisp apple. Second graders enjoyed coming up with these many ideas and sharing them with the rest of their friends in the classroom.

Once students thought of these describing words for each of their five senses, their next job was to cut out different colored paper to make the shape of an apple. After they had their apple shape cut out, they were able to glue their describing words onto that apple. The end results from this writing project can be seen in the windows above our second grade classroom. This colorful array of apples certainly brightens up our hallway!

Feel free to stop by and see our beautiful works of art as well as read our describing words that go along with our five senses with apples.
