Johnny Appleseed Day

Johnny Appleseed Day was a fun day for all classes!  Of course all classes enjoyed the apples for snack. The 3-4 year old class was talking about the color green, so we talked about the green trees and what a tree needs to grow.  The kids then enjoyed cutting out their trees and then painting the red apples on them. 
The Pre-K class was discussing the letter A in school.  The kids brought apples to school.  We cut them open and found a star in the center where the seeds are kept.  We enjoyed making hand print leaves and then used our apples and did some stamping with red paint to make the apples on the tree.  The next day at class had us talking about the four seasons, and the changes that an apple tree goes through in each season.
