Students had a fabulous time celebrating the birthday of John Chapman, also known as, Johnny Appleseed. Students learned about this beloved historical figure, read about apple trees, taste tested and graphed their favorite types of apples, and made some unexpectedly salty applesauce!

Where things took a turn for the worst... I will be labeling my salt and sugar pourers when I get home. We may have added a 1/2 cup of salt, instead of sugar! :0
Getting ready to have a huge let down! We were all so excited to taste our yummy treat... especially after smelling it all day! The students all complained and said it tasted nasty. I wasn't convinced until I took a nice salty mouthful for myself. We were all pretty disappointed, but we all got a good laugh afterwards.
