     Today we had Johnny Appleseed day!  We observed and drew 6 different types of apples.  Then we got to taste them to see how they were different.  In Mrs. Shofner's class we got to taste different foods made from apples.  We played a smartboard game about apples with Mr. Lucas.  Mrs. Hays hosted a special guest, Johnny Appleseed.    We talked about what life was like long ago and what apples were used for.  Then we got to press our own apple cider on a vintage cider press that is over 80 years old.  We learned that making cider is hard work!
