Johnny Appleseed

I am also planning a celebration next week for John's B-day. This will kick-off my unit on Fall Harvest. I'm sending home a note to parents this Friday asking them to send in an apple of their child's choice. We will use| the apples for sorting by color, size, etc. and we'll graph our sorting results; we'll cut some of them up for stamping with yellow, red, and green paint; and in Kindergarten Cafe we'll make applesauce and apple butter. I have Disney's version of Johnny Appleseed on video and an audio version by someone else to listen to during rest time. We always make Johnny Appleseed Pot Hats by cutting | |
a strip of black construction paper that is 6" wide by the circumfrence of the child's head (you'll have to splice 2 pieces together). Make a pot handle from 2" x 6" strip of brown paper. Staple the black strip together to form a ring to fit each child's head. Glue the handle on and add an apple cut-out made from red paper. If we have time, we'll make apple tarts from canned biscuit dough flattened out with canned apple pie filling placed on one half. Fold the other half over, seal the edge and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake at 425 degrees (I use a toaster oven) until golden brown. Yum!
Hope these ideas help you out,
Sandy
