I love celebrating Johnny Appleseed’s birthday in the classroom! It gives me a good reason to bring all sorts of apple goodies into the classroom! During the week that John Chapman’s birthday falls (September 26th) my students sample one different apple item each day. I usually do applesauce, cider, juice, pie, and different types of apples. We do graphs, read books, sing songs, all sorts of fun apple things! I put together some of my ideas and materials I use into a mini Johnny Appleseed/Apple unit. Here’s what’s included and a peek!
Yay! Another product has been updated! I first created this Johnny Appleseed Unit back in 2011 and it has been one of my best sellers on Teachers Pay Teachers. I recently gave it a major update! The unit has been redesigned with new, clearer fonts, better directions/explanations and new pages and activities have been added. See below for the updated list of included activities! (Make sure to head over to your “My Purchases” page on Teachers Pay Teachers if you’ve purchased this unit before September 13, 2017!)

The kids always LOVE having apple themed snacks! I can’t wait for them to try all of the apple things. It’s always interesting to find out who likes what kinds of apples and what apple foods the students have never had before!
