WOW that's a lot of activities for apples and best of all each activity is related to Common Core Standards. 

I hope you will "pick" this packet!

And with social distancing and computers in the back of my mind I created this wonderful Google Slide resource.

It begins with information about Johnny Appleseed.

The next slide has the students typing Johnny was, had and wanted.

Since vocabulary is important part of the learning process students while the next slide encourages students to write a meaningful paragraph about Johnny Appleseed.

There is a slide for them to then rewrite the complete paragraph.

Word work includes having students click and drag the letters in Appleseed to make words.

How many can you make?

Students will click and drag pictures of the apple tree's life cycle.

Finally there are two slides with picture graphs for students to answer questions about using the graph.

I am sure this will be your student's first "pick"!
