APPLES, APPLES, APPLES!

We are learning about Johnny Appleseed and what he did.  Today we tasted three different kinds of apples; one red, one green and one yellow.  We then chose our favorite out of the three and graphed the results.  We found out that the students in this class prefer yellow apples.  What a yummy learning activity!
