We celebrated Johnny Appleseed's birthday today by reading Johnny Appleseed by Stephen Kellog, singing Happy Birthday, watching a video about Johnny Appleseed, and making a special apple snack! Just before we went home we sang this song and acted it out. It was a great day!
HERE COMES JOHNNY APPLESEED
Tune: “Mary Had a Little Lamb” Liz Ryerson
Here comes Johnny Appleseed,
Appleseed, Appleseed,
Here comes Johnny Appleseed,
Walking all around.
See him plant his apple seeds,
Apple seeds, apple seeds,
See him plant his apple seeds
Deep down in the ground.
When his seeds grow into trees,
Into trees, into trees,
When his seeds grow into trees,
Standing oh, so high,
Watch him pick some apples red,
Apples red, apples red,
Watch him pick some apples red
As he goes walking by.
We also had some exciting centers today! We played with our cardboard blocks and the Noah's Ark set; we worked on our October calendar; and we started putting together some harder puzzles.
