Happy Birthday, Johnny Appleseed!

Today the first graders read a book and had a lengthy discussion about Johnny Appleseed. They were very interested and intrigued by his story, and we decided to celebrate his birthday with an Apple Party tomorrow! To practice our Question Words, the first graders wrote invitations for the kindergarteners who will join us at our party. Each first grader went across the hall and read their invitation to a kindergartener. Tomorrow, the first graders will learn to make apple pie from scratch. In the afternoon we'll share our treat, sing happy birthday to Johnny Appleseed, and watch the classic Walt Disney Johnny Appleseed movie. We're looking forward to a fun Friday!
