Monday; First I asked Carter how he thinks we make an apple pie. Here is what he said; Cut the apples. Dough, sugar and flour. Roll the dough. Put it in a bowl pan. Add the apples. Bake for 15 hours. Put in on a plate and eat it while it's warm.
Then we read the book. Later we did a connect the dots that made an apple.
Tuesday. We read the book, then.... we went to a preschool co-op with many other children at my friends house. There we sliced apples, grated cinnamon, ground wheat, made butter and finally but it all together for apple pies! The kids each got their own and one for the adults too!
Wednesday. We read the book, then.. We did math! We read 10 Apples up on Top by Dr. Seuss. Apple patterns, but apples in baskets. And in the morning we went on a field trip to a cider mill!
Thursday. We read the book, then... Vocabulary. I let Carter trace the words, then we talked about the definition. Paul had the great idea to use our vocab words whenever possible during the next week or so it will become part of Carter's everyday speech. The words were; superb, locate, elegant, native, coax and ingredients.
Friday. We read the book, then... On the last day I like to let Carter help me 'read' as much as possible. Then we did a storyline activity and put up our story disc on the map.
What a great week! Looking forward to
Mike Mulligan next!

This is the most awesome thing I've ever seen. Looks like Carter had a blast!
Wow I had no idea that FIAR was so complete!! I thought it was basically a lot of reading. Does it tell you what to do each day? Or do you just have to extract your own lessons (math, etc)? I bet Noah would LOVE that. Is he too old?
Those apple pies look excellent! Your week sounds so much fun! I wish you were my teacher!
