Happy Birthday Johnny Appleseed!

In First Grade, we have been learning about folktales.  Our first tall tale was Johnny Appleseed.  We celebrated his birthday today, September 26th!  Our morning began with a labeling activity which is helping us learn about non-fiction text features.

Then, we read a story about Johnny Appleseed and created an anchor chart.

We wrote about Johnny Appleseed too!  Come stop by our hallway to see all of our amazing writings...this is just a sneak peak!

Our math today even focused around apples where we were adding parts to make a whole.  We were writing our number sentences horizontally and vertically - yes, we are very smart first graders!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When we had a break, during independent time, we were able to complete an Appleseed Art project...look how cute they turned out.

 

 

Finally, to make the celebration complete, we had a caramel apple treat!  A special thank you to Mrs. Albright's mom and dad for sending in one for each of us.  We really appreciated it...boy were they yummy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We can't wait to find out who our next folktale character is!
