Montessori-Inspired Apple Unit {Hundreds of Resources}

September 22, 2011 By Deb Chitwood 39 Comments

I love the coziness of autumn – and apple activities just add to that feeling of coziness. There are lots of wonderful apple-themed activities online right now, and there are even many Montessori-inspired apple activities. I’ll be sharing some Montessori-inspired apple activities here and linking to my new Apple Unit Studies Pinterest board with all types of apple activities from around the blogosphere.

Montessori-Inspired Apple Unit {Hundreds of Resources}

An Apple Unit Study in September and/or October

September is a great time for an apple unit study for school or homeschool. September 26 is even the birthday of Johnny Appleseed. (Johnny Appleseed was born September 26, 1774.) October is National Apple Month in the U.S., so you can easily extend an apple unit into October. Also, Apple Day, celebrated mainly in the UK, is October 21. When I was teaching, I typically switched to a Halloween theme and general harvest theme for the last two weeks of October. Of course, you may keep apple activities out for as long as you want or keep the most popular apple activities on the shelves as part of a harvest theme throughout autumn. Thanks to the following sites for sharing these great Montessori-inspired apple activities:
