Johnny Appleseed

Over the past few weeks in Kindergarten, Charles has been learning about Johnny Appleseed, plants, and apples. Last Wednesday, his class had a Johnny Appleseed party. They were excused from dress code that day and were told they could dress up as Johnny Appleseed. Charles wanted overalls to be Johnny. I searched all over and luckily found a pair. He did not want to wear a real pot on his head, so we made one out of paper.

We were working on apples in preschool, so the decorations of the walls at home were the perfect backdrop for a picture of Charles dressed as Johnny Appleseed.

Charles class all dressed up for the appleseed party.

For snacks the kids were treated to apples and carmel dip, apple cake, apple cider, and the cutest apple tree cake ever. You can see one in the bottom right corner of the above picture. One of the mothers made an apple tree cake for each of the kids.

I am the classroom coordinator for Charles' class. It was my job to organize this party for the kids. It was so great to see all of the parents wanting to be involved and all the work that the parents put into the Appleseed Party so that the kids could have a great day. We had 15 mothers there to help with food, crafts, or whatever Mrs. Johnson needed. One kid in the class said the Appleseed party was awesome and they needed to have one every day. Thank you Charles for letting me be a part of your life and actually liking it when mom comes to help in your classroom!
