Happy Birthday Johnny Appleseed!

Today was Johnny Appleseed's Birthday. Yes, he was a real man! His real name was John Chapman and he was a preacher. He went across this great nation spreading apple seeds and the word of God. Today we celebrated him and ate lots of yummy apple inspired food!

First, we tasted apples this morning. Red, yellow, and green apples. Each child was able to taste the 3 different kinds of apples. 

Then, we graphed! I love graphing!!! Beside each different color apple was a graph. We raised our hands if we liked the apple we had tasted. Then we graphed! I just love teaching Math this way. That's right, Math!!! Your children are laying the foundation for their educational careers here!! That is HUGE!!!! Bonus..... they had NO idea they were learning!!! 

After we graphed we watch a short movie about Johnny Appleseed. I usually have a NO TV policy in my room, but this was a very short little movie. We had a little field trip and watched it in the Playroom.

After we watched all about Johnny and the harvest we had our own little apple celebration. We ate apples, apple pie, and apple sauce. We even had apple juice to drink.

I can't wait to see what apple "ing" work we create this week. Check back later on in the week to see what all we have learned!
