9/29/2016: Celebrating Johnny Appleseed



This week we are wishing a "Happy Birthday" to John Chapman, who later became known as Johnny Appleseed! John was born September 26, 1774, in Leominster, MA. Today you can visit Nova, Ohio, to see the last known tree to be planted by Johnny Appleseed himself,  it is 176 years old! 

My original play “The Tale of Johnny Appleseed” is a great way to learn more about this famous frontiersman with your class!

One user recently gave us this feedback: "How fun! .. and at the perfect level for my first graders. Thanks so much!!"

I am sure your class will also have fun with this readers' theater play.
