We celebrated Johnny Appleseed's birthday and boy, was it delicious!
We learned that Johnny was a kind and giving man who took good care of his trees and supplied the early settlers with seeds so they could grow their own. I used this PowerPoint to introduce Johnny to the students.
We also learned about the parts of an apple by labeling this diagram of an apple.
Throughout the day I was making crock pot apple sauce so our room smelled quite yummy. Before we dug in and ate some we did a writing activity and wrote down the ingredients and cooking instructions for the homemade apple sauce. The template for the recipe can be found here.
You have to be wondering though...what IS the recipe?
What you will need:
crock pot
peeler
masher
about 15 apples (I have 17 students in my class and had some left over)
cinnamon
vanilla
Instructions:
Peel and slice all of the apples and place in a crock pot. Add as much cinnamon and vanilla as you'd like. Put the lid on and cook on high for 4-5 hours. Use masher to achieve the consistency you desire.
So simple and SO tasty! Here are some pictures of our class enjoying it:
