Johnny Appleseed (year 4, week 3)
UnSplash Tuesday was Johnny Appleseed's birthday, so I introduced the kids to his legends this week. We watched a few videos about him on Youtube and practiced "The Lord's been Good to Me" song. We made apple pops, which are like caramel apples but in slices. It was a dismal failure, but they tasted ok. It think the apple needed to dry out a bit before coating them in caramel. The kids enjoyed the project, though- they each had a job. It was our first time doing a food activity that went well. I'm looking forward to doing more with them.
