September is For Apples

September 26 is John Chapman’s birthday. You might know him as Johnny Appleseed. That makes September a great month to study apples. We learned about the parts of an apple, studied the life cycle of an Apple tree, and read about the life of John Chapman. The worked hard on their directed drawings of an Apple tree and portrait of Johnny Appleseed. Our classroom smelled wonderful on the day we made applesauce in the crockpot. We had a taste test of three types of apples and found out that Granny Smith apples are the favorite apple in kindergarten!
