The Young 5 students at Cooper Elementary just finished a special unit where they compared apples - size, weight, color and taste. They made patterns using red and yellow apples, graphed their favorite color of apples and used the apples to show ways to make five! To end their unit, they made applesauce! What a fun (and delicious) project for the Koalas! 🍏🐨🍎
