It sounds a bit funny, but one of my favorite celebrations is Johnny Appleseed day. It seems like such a fun way to celebrate fall, and a great excuse to eat apples!!! We do lots of fun things in our classroom with Johnny Appleseed. We teach about seeds, plants, tall tales, and of course, Johnny Appleseed himself. I decided to put my together what I had made into a unit. I've never made a unit before, but I am excited for how this turned out. We do lots of writing in this unit, and there is writing in each form from the common core- information, narrative, opinion-- this unit includes the graphic organizers also. My kids love coming to school for Johnny Appleseed day because all week we talk about what our day will look like. Sometimes I have parents come in and we do some of the activities in centers, and other times we do them all week long and just do one or two activities. They always come in cut off pants, with a couple of apples and a pot to wear on their head! When we do it this year, I will make sure to post some pics!

I want you to be able to have some Johnny Appleseed paper I created that is in my packet. If you click the link below you can download it for free. It's in a JPG form. Make sure to leave a comment so I know you did. I would love it if you followed my blog, too!
