Apples!

Today, we learned about Johnny Appleseed. We even watched the story of Johnny Appleseed on a fun website called: www.bookflix.com. Then, we made apples. First, we cut out apple cores. Then, we tore up red pieces of paper, and glued them to the top and bottom of the core. They really loved tearing the paper. The apples turned out great! We used them to decorate our bulletin board. In math, we made a graph about our favorite colors. I gave each student a paper crayon, and they colored it their favorite color. Next, each student placed their crayon on the graph. Then, we counted how many votes each crayon color received. Lastly, we talked about which crayon color had the most votes and the least votes. We ended up having two ties. Also, it wasn't unexpected that our class' favorite color was purple. After all, it is our school color. :-)
