Happy Birthday, Johnny Appleseed!

Today we celebrated the life of Johnny Appleseed with many fun activities. 

This morning, we joined with our friends in Room 101 to read Johnny Appleseed by Stephen Kellogg. We learned all about Johnny Appleseed's life and why we still celebrate him today. Then, we made applesauce by adding sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and water to apples in a crock pot. We had to wait until the afternoon though before we could taste it. And when we did, we found it to be delicious! 

Back in our classroom, we wrote the steps in how to make applesauce. We also wrote questions to Johnny Appleseed. In addition, we created paper apples and formed a describing sentence under our apples by cutting and gluing words. Here is how some of our apples turned out. 


Just a reminder that we do not have school tomorrow. On Monday, we will have a Pirate jean day. Students are allowed to wear blue jeans and either a Pirate shirt or a black or gold shirt to school. If you have any questions, please let me know. Have a great weekend! Let's go Bucs!
