Apples & Pears: A mouth & a star

I'd cut the apple into thin slices and A. said, "It's a half circle." After he'd bitten into it he said, "It's a mouth." We laughed.

B. saw the star (I'd cut it in half, across the apple) and said, "I can see the star. Like Frozen." 

She then said, "When I was a baby I fell down the stairs. I bounced down the stairs."

Then she asked, "Can I have some pear?" After trying it she said, "I don't like it. I like apple."

The value of a simple rhyme, an apple and a pear, as a conversation starter.

See my previous post:  Do you like apples? Do you like pears? rhyme

Yarn Trap

The yarn was used to make a trap.  It was tied to a picture frame and a basket. Each was positioned on shelves across from one another.  The children had to go "under" the trap to get to the carpet for whole class time. There was a lot of sharing of ideas, problem solving, and use of the positional language "over" and "under" and "around".
