Today we did lots of apple activities because it's Johnny Appleseed day! We read about Johnny, did a sequencing activity, but the most favorite thing was the apple tasting! We tried Golden Delicious, Granny Smith and Gala apples (I just realized a minute ago that they all start with G!) and wrote down all the words we could think of to describe how they tasted. Every apple at one point was compared to another fruit. Apparently they tasted like mangoes, peaches, grapefruits, oranges, cherries, and lemons. However, my favorite observation was when one girl told me the Golden Delicious apple, "tastes like I love it! It tastes loving!" So yes, "loving" is one of the words on our chart. :) Then we voted for their favorites. Granny Smith was the winner!
Tomorrow we continue with our apple activities!

The description of "loving" is great. Kids come up with some really great responses sometimes. It sounds like you had a good day with the apples. Greg would be happy to hear the Granny Smiths were the winners. Love you!!! MOM
I wonder if the "loving" girl connects some memories of apples to someone special. Grandma's homemade apple pie maybe. Tastes like love. That's perfect.
