Apple Picking Mini-Tour

Our school made a trip out into the community on Friday to visit a local farm with a pick-your-own fruit operation. Before visiting the farm, we discussed types of apples, changes in an apple tree throughout the four seasons, and the legend of Johnny Chapman, or Johnny Appleseed. Here's a glimpse of our fun apple outing.

Bumpy ride to the orchard on HALF of a school bus!

Children choosing apples and "turning them up to the sky" to pick.





Great demonstration in the school house, reinforcing Johnny Appleseed and changing of the seasons.


Goats, Alpacas, and Pot-Bellied Pigs, Oh my!

  1. It was a great day and the little bit of rain did nothing to ruin the fun. Your field trips are always informative but also loads of fun!
