Apples by Katelyn Sirois, Profile School
Elementary Education Internship at Bethlehem Elementary School

    I have been interning at the Bethlehem Elementary School for a quarter now as a Kindergarten

Teacher. There are many artifacts I could have chosen, but I chose an apple. Why? Well the first

unit we focused on was to test how much the children knew. We tested for three things: reading,

writing, and math and we used apples as our focus object.

    We not only taught them reading, writing, and math, but also how apples grow. By using the song

wheels on the bus, and adding our own words, we were able to teach the kids how apples turned

from a seed into an apple tree. We wrote the song down onto a chart and then had the kids go up

to the chart and circle the words/letters that they knew and then they told the class what the letter

was. Then we sang the song and then added a little dance to the song. Now without the chart all

the kids have to do is hear the music and they can sing the song. Or if you ask them to draw or write

the stages down, they can. We can also use apples to teach the kids colors, because apples come in

three different colors: red, green and yellow. With thetree trunk you are adding the color brown on top

of the other colors. That’s four colors down in one unit. It is also easier for children to color in-between

the line when they are coloring a circler shape than an edged of a square.

    Teaching the children how to count is always easier when using a visual example in front of

them. By counting the seeds in the middle of an apple and counting apples themselves; we can

take away a certain amount of apples for the children who are having trouble and add apples/

seeds for the children that are excelling.

    So as you can see, for teaching, all you need to use is something as simple as an apple to be

able to teach, or test, the children. Thanks to Mrs. Ferland I have learned a lot about teaching

Kindergarten and how one object can be used for so many things. Just like how easy it can be to

teach reading, math and writing by using an apple as the focus object.
