Tomorrow is picture day with siblings that attend CHES.

This morning the children learned about John Chapman, otherwise known as Johnny Appleseed. We also took part in an apple tasting experiment. Each child got to taste 3 different types of apples, then chart their favorite on our graph. As you can see below, the Golden Delicious apple was favored by most of the children. This is an easy experiment to try at home and the best time of year to taste a variety of apples.
