First Grade Apple Day

First Graders celebrate Johnny Appleseed’s birthday every year. We began the morning decorating Johnny Appleseed hats. Our three sections of first grade rotated between our classrooms. Students visiting Mrs. Snead’s room read about John Chapman, made books about his life and watched a brief video. Students visiting Mrs. Grogan’s room painted their vision of an apple tree. Students visiting Ms. King’s room tasted and graphed their favorite apple. The day ended with Hank M., EDS third grader, returning to first grade to read the book, which he has done for the past three years.
