Apples With Whales!
/The Whales have been studying apples this week. We worked as scientists, noticing tiny details on the outside and inside of apples, drawing what we saw and sharing our observations with friends.
We acted out the life cycle of an apple, taking turns being trees and pollinators, growing fruit, falling to the ground, decomposing, and growing into new apple trees.
We shared our hypotheses regarding the sudden decline in our ELC apple crop this year. Our ideas were wise and discerning and spoke to our deep understanding of plant life cycles.
On Wednesday, we worked together to make apple cider! Ms. Ellie arrived with an entire bushel of apples and we worked very hard cutting, crushing and pressing all the apples. As one Whale said “It was hard work, but we just kept on going!” Whales are hard-workers, and good friends!
