Ms. Jordan Earley’s kindergarten class had a fun-filled week of learning in celebration of Johnny Appleseed! Students explored apples through hands-on experiments, taste tests, math activities, the five senses, and more.
From learning about the real John Chapman to discovering the life cycle and parts of an apple, these kindergarteners had plenty of opportunities to learn while having fun! 🍏📚
What a sweet way to wrap up Apple Week! ❤️🍎
