Happy Birthday, Johnny Appleseed!

Today, the students participated in a Johnny Appleseed Extravaganza to celebrate his birthday.  They rotated through five parent led, apple themed centers in the morning period.  Look at all our exciting activities!  Thank you to the parent volunteers in helping out with these centers.  The kids had a blast.

 The students are working on Apple Math Hats.  Here is a student sporting her new fashionable wear!

 Apple Tasting was a highlight.  They tasted apple cider, apple sauce, apple butter, dried apple, and apple chips!  The precious ones also worked on Apple Science.  They drew a diagram, weighed, and measured the circumference of an apple.




They also made Apple Turnovers.  I sent the recipe home with the students today.  You'll have to try them for an easy dessert some time.  Finally, they practiced patterning by making an Apple Jack Necklace.
The students truly had great time.  Thanks again for all the volunteers. 

Cheers,
Mrs. Sienknecht
