Le mele
Our lesson on apples (le mele) was a fun and informative one. We learned that apples come in many colors: rosso, verde, and giallo, and that they grow on trees (alberi).
We also talked about all the yummy things you can make with apples like apple pie, (crostata di mela), apple sauce (puree di mela) and apple cider (succo di mela).
Of course we cut up some apples in slices (uno spicchio) for snack (merenda).
We also took the opportunity to learn about the parts of the mela. The outside (fuori) is called the buccia, and inside (dentro) we find the semi (seeds).
We did our craft by dipping two apples halves into red and white paint and then stamping them on contruction paper. We labeled the parts in Italian.
We hope you review these new words with your Italian-learning child.
Al piu’ presto!
