In celebration of Johnny Appleseed’s birthday and the season, kindergarten students in Joan Margolis’ and Dawn Minuto’s class at Gardiners Avenue Elementary School studied apples. After reading several books about this popular historical figure, the students studied the life cycle of the apple and the fall season, learning that there are more than 7,500 varieties of the fruit. They concluded their unit by voting for their favorite type and assisting in the making of a delicious snack of applesauce.
