Literacy Snack Building Community Read Aloud

September 11, 2019

Grab the FREE printable and see the snack idea to use with One Green Apple. It's a great Literacy Snack Building Community Read Aloud for any time of the school year!

Building community and accepting others is an important topic to teach. This week for our Literacy Snack Building Community Read Aloud we will be reading One Green Apple by Eve Bunting. This is a fantastic book to help kids understand what it’s like to be new and that we’re all alike.

This book shows how a community can be kind and welcoming to strangers and newcomers. It’s about Farrah, a little Muslim girl who has come to the United States from another country, and her second day at school. The day is spent on a field trip to an orchard, where the children pick apples and make apple cider. The melting pot analogy is turned into an apple cider one as all the children throw their apples in and work together to press them into cider, even Farrah helps. The illustrations are stunning and the topic is so important.

For our snack this week, we’ll be having apple cider just like the kids all worked together to make in the story.

Snack idea

We’re keeping it simple this week and our snack will be apple cider. You’ll be surprised how many kids have never had real apple cider, only apple juice.

This time of year, apple cider is pretty easy to find. It is usually located in the produce section either near the apples, or possibly in the refrigerator section of the produce area.

Free Printable

While your students are enjoying their apple cider, I made a free printable for them to work on. They will get to draw a picture and write about how they can welcome a new person to their school.
