An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

Last week, we had lots of fun reading Amelia Bedelia's First Apple Pie and making an apple puzzle that will be a great practice tool.  We used context clues to figure out the idioms Amelia Bedelia encounters like who is "Granny Smith."  At the end of the book, Amelia Bedelia included a recipe for apple pie.  I will add a picture of the recipe below.  Baking or cooking with your child can be a very rich language experience including practice following directions.  Don't forget what Amelia Bedelia's grandfather told her "an apple a day keeps the doctor away."
