Happy Apple Week!

Yesterday was the start of Apple Week. This is a week with all things apples. we help celebrate Johnny Appleseed's birthday with apple reading, apple math, apple science, and of course apple eating. Yesterday we went on our field trip to the apple orchard. The kids had a great time and learned a lot.

We were greeted by the workers at the apple orchard.

We were able to pick pumpkins.

We went on a hayride.

We walked through the store where all of the apples and apple goodies are sold.

All of the students got to pick four apples to take home.

Everyone got to enjoy some apple cider.

We took a trip into the refrigerator to see where the apples are stored.

The students saw where the apples are washed.

They showed us how the apples are graded and sorted.

We learned a little about how they make apple cider. The machine was being washed, so we didn't see it in action, but it was still cool.

We finished by learning the important role bees have to play in making apples.
