Teaming Up to Study Johnny Appleseed

These happy 2nd graders are hard at work creating their puppets.

The 1st and 2nd graders had some fun learning about Johnny Appleseed with the team teaching of Mrs. Huelsing and Mrs. Mongan. They enjoyed learning about the legend of this historic character. Math played a big part when they learned about fractions as Mrs. Huelsing cut the apples into halves and quarters. Tally charts were turned into bar graphs as the students voted for their favorite apple.



The students exercised their creative sides when making paper apple splits and paper bag puppets of Johnny Appleseed. The Smartboard came in handy when showing a video on the life cycle of an apple and activities in an apple packing company. The best part, however, was working together!

Two 1st graders proudly display their finished puppets.
