With the arrival of autumn in many places in America comes the time to harvest the apple crop from nearby farms and orchards. When this country was still quite young and pioneers were moving west to new lands, one man helped provide food for their new land. Who was Johnny Appleseed, and how was he involved in the spread of apple trees across America? This week we celebrate his birthday!
Here's a few fun links from Autumn Treasures Download N Go to get you started learning about this famous American pioneer:

Here are some of the books that complement this unit study. You do not need them all- just try to find a few that sound interesting for your students. Unit study tip: When working on unit studies, it can be so helpful to take a laundry basket and redefine its purpose—it will now become the unit study/library book basket! This way, the books are easier to locate when you need them, and it really does become a habit after a while. Read on!
