To conclude our learning about Johnny Appleseed, we got to make applesauce. We invited our principals, office staff, and specials teachers. We made four pots of applesauce and they were all so good. Throughout the week we learned lots of facts about JohnnyAppleseed such as:
His dad fought in the Revolutionary war
He wanted people to be able to plant apple trees as they moved west so he gave them a pouch of apple seeds
He got his apple seeds from the local cider mill
It is probably a tall tale that he wore a pot on his head and that he slept in a log with a bear
He lived off the land for most of his life
How fun! I want some applesauce!
