Last week we made a list of everything we know about apples. For example, we know that they are tasty, they sometimes have worms, they are attached to trees by a stem, they have seeds inside. Our list went on. As for color—we know there are red and green apples. Someone asked about yellow apples, but no one was sure about that. We were also wondering about pink apples because we know there are some apples called “pink girl.” Someone was sure there are purple apples, and even wondered if there might be blue apples. My teacher voice responded, "Well, has anyone ever seen blue apples?" “No…but there could be a blue orchard with blue apples.” "How will we find out?" “We’ll ask at the orchard when we go.” Meanwhile, we read a book about apples—no blue apples. “But there could be a blue apple that they don’t know about.” We examined apples that I bought at the store and guess what, there was a purple apple!! I’ve never thought of an apple as purple, but the children clearly see this apple as purple and now when I look at it, it is definitely purple. Who knew, purple apples! But I ask, "Did I find any blue apples at the store?" “No, but there could be a blue orchard somewhere not by our HyVee.” I’m starting to think there just might be a blue apple out there somewhere if I look with the right eyes.
