Apples Galore

Last week we learned all about apples in honor of Johnny Appleseed's birthday. Did you know that Johnny Appleseed's real name was John Chapman??? We learned all kinds of neat and interesting facts about Johnny! We also read several information texts about apples. One of the books talked about the numerous different types of apples, so we decided to have an apple taste test to see which ones we liked the best. Oddly enough, I couldn't find any yellow apples last week, so we sampled some sweet Red Delicious apples and some sour Granny Smith apples. After our taste test, we created a pictograph, tally chart, and bar graph to represent our favorite kind of apple. It was a very close race!
