The day started with making Johnny Appleseed hats. Each child made a hat that resembled a cooking pot. Then they colored apples that read "HAPPY APPLE DAY" to glue on the hat.
Then I read them the story "The Little Red House with No Windows, No Doors, and a Star Inside".
We sang apple songs and I read some apple poetry.
Then we broke up into our Apple Stations where we got to ....
1. Bob for Apples
2. Make Apple Prints
3. Make a Beautiful Apple Craft
4. Pin the Apple on the Tree
5. Make Applejack Necklaces
At the end of the day, we got to taste some apple goodies! We had apple fritters, baked apple pies, apple butter, caramel apples, apple cake, and lots of fresh apples! Thanks to EVERYONE who brought the yummies!! :)
Not to mention that we made homemade applesauce in class.....
What a way to end a WONERFUL day!! :)
