Johnny Appleseed Learning

Last mont was Johnny Appleseed birthday.  We took this opportunity to write about Johnny Appleseed and talk about Tall Tale stories.   Ms. Johnson and I also took the opportunity to celebrate his birthday by making apple sauce with the two classes.  This was a great way to teach students about following directions, measurement, and fractions.   We enjoyed the smell of yummy apple sauce cooking throughout the day!!  Here are some pictures of us learning about how to make apple sauce in a crockpot.
