Wednesday is Johnny Appleseed Day. I LOVE any kind of "holiday" that can incorporate history and fun into learning. When I student taught in kindergarten we had a whole Johnny Appleseed day: the kids walked around barefoot, made applesause in a crockpot, and made tin pot hats. There are so many ideas for celebrating the day in the general education classroom: apples into fractions, geography with where Johnny went, or learn about an apple structure for science.

Alas, I am not in the general education classroom anymore. Sometimes I miss planning for every subject, there are so many possibilities. Now I just need to focus on reading, writing, and language skills. Since I love Johnny Appleseed oh so much, I decided to dedicate my Tuesday therapy session to the guy. I'm very excited in case you can't tell.
Since I only have a 50 minutes session, my activities are going to have to be pretty quick (no crockpot applesauce making for me). Instead, since I am still evaluating and assessing, I'm going to focus my assessments around Mr. Appleseed. Read my next few blog posts to see what I am doing and feel free to get ideas for your own Johnny therapy session. I hope you enjoy Sept. 26 as much as I plan to :).
