Apple Study

Each fall, my second graders study the life cycle of the apple tree. We learn how apples grow, celebrate Johnny Appleseed's birthday on September 26th, diagram an apple blossom, examine the parts of an apple, graph our favorite apples, take a field trip to a local orchard, and bake apple pandowdy.  Our science journals play an important role in this study as a place for us to record our facts and illustrations.
