Description
An apple farm to table unit for 1st and 2nd grade: nonfiction passages with questions, word work, writing, apple science and real-world math.
Students learn how bees help apples grow, how pickers harvest them and how applesauce is made, then test why apples turn brown, graph a class taste test and add prices in cents.
Black and white pages are print and go. Cut the cut and paste pieces and laminate the color cards (for reusable durability) for a center.

WHY TEACHERS LOVE IT
Short nonfiction passages with underlined vocabulary build comprehension without overwhelming young readers.
Apple math feels real: students compare numbers, count seeds in tens and ones, play a partner dice game and add prices at the apple stand.
