Johnny Appleseed Day
Disney made a wonderful series of books titled: American Classics. They are big, bright books with wonderful illustrations. We read Disney's Johnny Appleseed. The students really enjoyed the book, and asked many questions about what life was like while Johnny was alive. We discussed what a legend is, and that Johnny was a real person. His real name is John Chapman and he did plant apple trees. However, not everything in the book really did happen. When a story becomes a legend, it can also become exaggerated. Students in K-4 made a Johnny Appleseed craft and sampled apple butter, applesauce and apple pie. We talked about how apples are a part of our American culture, and they are in so many yummy foods.My
