All About Apples for Kindergartners at DeLuca

On Sept. 26, Mrs. Rebholz's kindergarten class at William E. DeLuca Elementary School welcomed the fall season with a special celebration honoring Johnny Appleseed. Students learned about the American folk hero while exploring all things apples.

The class enjoyed a visit from guest reader Mrs. Campo, a recently retired teacher, who shared a story about Johnny Appleseed. Students also sang songs, made apple prints and created their own Johnny Appleseed crafts.

Of course, no apple celebration would be complete without a taste test. Students sampled different varieties of apples and then graphed their favorites. Sixteen students enjoyed all the apples, while two cast their votes for green apples as their top choice.
