Apple Senses

This past week has been an exciting week in our class! For writing this week, we decided to use our five senses so that we could describe what an apple tastes, smells, feels, sounds, and looks like.

To start off this writing activity, our second graders were each given green and red apple slices at their seats so that they could properly use their five senses in order to study these apples. As a class, we discussed our five senses with these apples. We tasted, smelled, listened to, felt, and examined these apple slices together and discussed our findings. Then, students were on their own as they wrote and described their apples using their five senses.

After finishing this writing activity, students glued on green, yellow, or red apple parts to their paper to make their writing look like an apple. These cute apples are hanging in our hallway window. Feel free to stop by and check them out!
