We read about Johnny Appleseed, as it was his birthday yesterday, and then completed a packet of activities that focused on apples. Jason was tasked with applying integrated and applying prior and newly acquired knowledge to academic activities which integrated core subjects, such as math. He effectively completed a cut-and-paste activity illustrating the growth cycle of apples - from seed to fruit maturity. He also excitedly showed me his plants, which he is growing from seeds, and watered them. We ended the session completing a book of apple jokes, puns, and riddles, and Jason was happy to ask his peers and teachers if they knew the answers.
