Johnny Appleseed Units

Are you looking for some great ideas to help celebrate Johnny Appleseed? Check out this website from Midge Frazel for an excellent source of information, great ideas and activities. http://www.midgefrazel.net/appleseed.html  Homeschoolers will be able to utilize this resource for a Unit Study on Johnny Appleseed and Apples. Themed units are an excellent way to bring in lots of hands-on activities for multi-sensory learning and to combine several subjects under one theme.

Parents can use Theme Units as a fun way to supplement school work and practice the reading and writing skills your child is learning at school. Be sure to ask your Creative Tutors tutor to make additional suggestions for fun ways to supplement your child learning experiences at home!
