Johnny Appleseed Day

We have been learning about apples. On September 26 we read books about John Chapman, (later called Johnny Appleseed) and learned that he was a real man who traveled west, handing out apple seeds and small trees. We have him to thank for many of our apple orchards.

Thank you for sending in apples with your child. We had a taste test and created a class graph of our favorite kind of apple. We found out that more children like Yellow Delicious (10). The next favorite was Gala apples (7), and four children like Granny Smith apples the best. After tasting the apples, we made applesauce.
