The kindergartners at St. Elizabeth Elementary in Pleasant Hills celebrated Johnny Appleseed Day on Tuesday, September 27 by combining history and science with a touch of the culinary arts!
Our young students explored the rich history of Johnny Appleseed, learning, much to their surprise, that he was, in fact, a real person. They also conducted their first science experiments of the year. The kindergartners tested the buoyancy of apples, dissected and named the parts of the fruit, and discussed the seasonal changes of the apple tree. Their apple adventures concluded with some culinary fun, as the students tried making homemade applesauce.
