Many of you may have probably heard or read about the American folk hero Johnny Appleseed. And perhaps you have seen the endearing 1948 Walt Disney animated movie about his life <1>. In the movie, a young Johnny is inspired by an angel to leave the comfort of home, go west and plant apple trees so the early American pioneers and settlers will have something nourishing and flavorful to eat along their journey. Near the end of the movie, the angel reappears to a much-older Johnny and tells him h
Bureau of Indian Affairs Created, 1824 To be sure, this wasn't the first United States agency to deal with the Native Americans. The Second Continental Congress, back in 1775, had created three such agencies, to deal with the northern, central, and southern areas. These agencies concerned themselves with Indian treaties, and were particularly interested in encouraging Indian neutrality in the Revolutionary War. Patrick Henry and Benjamin Franklin were two of the first commissioners. In 1789, negotiations with the Indians were transferred to the newly-created War Department. In 1806, a post within the War Department was created by Congress called the Superintendant of Indian Trade. The chief responsibility of this post was overseeing the factory trading system (trading posts). John C Calhoun established the office without permission of Congress When the factory system ended, there was no government position responsible for negotiations with the Indians. Secretary of War John C. Calhoun created the Bureau of Indian Affairs on his own authority, and appointed Thomas L. McKenny, who had been the last Superintendant of Indian Trade. (There was some confusion about the name of the agency: Calhoun called it the Bureau of Indian Affairs, but McKenney referred to it as the "Indian Office" or the "Office of Indian Affairs.") Over the years, the Bureau of Indian Affairs had engaged in many controversial practices over the years, including attempts to "assimilate" Native Americans into the mainstream culture, even when that meant eradicating Native American culture and languages, and removing children from their homes to be placed into boarding schools. The 1970's were a particularly challenging time for the nation, as the Bureau attempted to deal with the American Indian Movement, and such crises as the Pine Ridge shootout and the occupation of the Bureau Headquarters. Today the Bureau is attempting to change its mission to a more advisory, rather than supervisory, role in Indian development. Queen Anne Queen Anne Vetoes the Scottish Militia Bill, 1708 This was the last time a British monarch declined to give "Royal Assent" to an Act of Parliament, and this event is actually more interesting from that perspective than it is in regard to the bill itself. Today "Royal Assent" is considered to be little more than a formality, although the capacity to veto a bill does still legally exist. The bill in question was the Scottish Militia Bill, which was intended to create uniformity in the military by extending certain Acts of Parliament which had previously applied only to England. (England and Scotland had only recently been united into the single country of Great Britain.) Anne vetoed it, apparently, on the advice of her advisors. Queen Anne produced five children out of 18 pregnancies (the other 13 resulting in miscarriages or stillbirths). Four of those children died at under two years of age. The remaining son, William, died at age 11, which caused some difficulties regarding the succession. William had been heir to the throne, and was a Protestant. The next 50 or so royals in line were Catholics. Parliament passed the Act of Settlement, which barred any Roman Catholic, or anyone marrying a Roman Catholic, from taking the throne. Upon Anne's death, the crown passed to George I, the first British ruler of the House of Hanover. The Roxy Theater Opens, 1927 It was called the "Cathedral of the Motion Picture." The Roxy Theater cost 12 million dollars to build. It had nearly 6,000 seats, multi-tiered balconies. and 4,500 marquee lights. The chandelier alone weighed a ton and a half. The orchestra could seat 110 musicians and the huge Kimball pipe organ had three consoles. For employees and performers, there was a gymnasium, a cafeteria, showers, a nap room, and two stories of dressing rooms. The Roxy Theater was managed by Samuel L. "Roxy" Rothafel, and it was a wonder. Even the ushers were famous -- for their efficiency, their politeness, and their immaculate dress. Cole Porter immortalized them in the song, You're the Top. ("You the pants on a Roxy usher.") In the first 12 years of its existence, the Roxy saw 50 million visitors. So what was its downfall? Roxy Rothafel opened a new venue -- the Radio City Music Hall. Some of the Roxy traditions moved on to Radio City, however. The "Roxyettes" became the Rockettes, and the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, which originated at the Roxy, is still a holiday tradition. Johnny Appleseed Johnny Appleseed's Death, 1845 Today is one of the dates cited as the date of John Chapman's death. Others are March 10th or March 18th. Yes, there really was a Johnny Appleseed, and his name was John Chapman. Chapman was a nurseryman who left Massachusetts and traveled west, taking apple seeds with him. It wasn't quite so much of a random journey as some of the legends would suggest, however. John Chapman was a businessman. Chapman got his apple seeds for free (the cider mills were eager to promote their business) and sometimes the use of the land as well. He planted nurseries wherever he could, and left them in the care of locals. Sometimes the locals cheated him, but he figured it all worked out in the long run. He accepted practically everything in barter, and gave much of it away. Indeed, some of the strangest elements of the Johnny Appleseed legend are likely to be true. Chapman was a vegetarian, a lover of animals and nature, and definitely an eccentric. He kept the worst of the clothes he was given for his own use and gave the rest away. He owned only what he could carry in a pack on his back, although he did have two canoes which he tied together -- one for his precious apple seeds. And he may have actually worn a pot on his head -- it would surely have been the easiest way to carry it. One thing that's important to remember about Johnny Appleseed is that the apple trees he was disbursing were pippins -- that is, they were trees raised entirely from apple seeds, without grafting. They would have been unsatisfactory for eating. What Johnny Appleseed was doing was bringing cider -- hard cider -- to the frontier.

It is already mid-September and time is flying by in the classroom! It’s my favorite time of the year as we near toward the cool fall weather. I love when the leaves begin turning different shades or orange and red.. I also love when stores begin to sell pumpkin and apple scents 🙂
Ms. Joannie Appleseed is a devoted historian who spends 3 months a year prepping for her role as her hero Johnny Appleseed during Johnny Appleseed Day in a small town in California. There she educates children about the importance of pollination by singing while juggling apples and giving out bags of apple seeds to everyone she sees. Saying she loves her job is a complete understatement. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a digital archival print created from original marker and colored pencil drawing. 8x10" - Comes with backing in a compostable plastic sleeve just for you - all ready to pop in a frame.

Fall Finally! Fall has arrived. I'm ready for some cooler weather, colorful leaves, and of course some of Johnny Appleseed's apples. I doubt the apples I'm eating are the descendants of one of the trees that John Chapman planted . . . but stranger things have happened. Learning about Johnny Appleseed is a great way to spark children's interests in plants, history, and economics! In Virginia, it's not one of the famous Americans listed in the history Standards of Learning but it's an effective lead-in for learning about past and present as well as providing exposure to picture timelines which is one of the first grade standards. Therefore, we usually spend a few days learning about this famous American folk hero. I begin the unit by reading a few books about Johnny Appleseed. We learn about his contributions to the young country of the United States. Sometimes we watch a video about America's pioneers from Discovery Education or we'll go to a website that has age-appropriate content on Johnny Appleseed. If you school has a subscription to BrainPop Jr., here is a link to a movie that might interest you: Johnny Appleseed. I made a few Johnny Appleseed resources and posted them at my Teachers Pay Teachers shop. Here's a peek at them. The first item is a printable booklet. It has some basic facts about Johnny Appleseed. The photo below shows what the front and back cover of the book look like. It's important for children to continually increase their vocabulary through books they read so I created a little glossary on the back cover. Click on the image shown below to see the booklet at my Teachers Pay Teachers store. I made a quiz about Johnny Appleseed as well. The quiz is generic so that it can work with a variety of teaching resources about John Chapman. The quiz is one of my FREE resources! The quiz is in multiple choice format. Students will need to fill in the bubbles beside the correct answers. The first five questions are the easiest. I love to differentiate instruction and I especially love it when it can be done seamlessly! Some students will stop the quiz after the first page. That will be questions one through five. Advanced students can continue to answer questions by completing the second page of the quiz. The image shown below is from page two of the quiz. The questions on page two require critical thinking skills and require additional background knowledge. An answer key is included for your convenience. If you'd like this quiz, click on the image shown below. I converted the paper-copy quiz into a SMART Notebook file. It's self-checking. It can be used as a pre-test to the paper-copy quiz or it can be used to discuss the answers to the quiz. It's also a FREE teaching resource! Here's how it works. Students can refer to their paper copy quiz as the answers are reviewed on the SMART board. Call on a student to select A, B, or C from the answer choices shown. Have the students touch the bubble for the choice he makes. If the bubble-choice selected lights up as red, the answer is WRONG. Try again. If the bubble-choice selected lights up as green, the answer is CORRECT. Are you ready to get the Johnny Appleseed SMART Board quiz? Click on the image below to download the file.

I have also included a list of all the blogs that participate in stART. **This is a work in progress so if you have participated at least 3 times and would like to be added to the list, leave me a comment and let me know :0) This week we have been having fun with apples and One Red Apple, by Harriet Ziefert went along perfectly with everything we have been doing. This is a beautifully illustrated story of the life cycle of an apple tree, from tree to market tree to market, to picnic, to seed, to sapling and tree, and finally to a new apple. I think Emily loved it because she is always saving the seeds from foods to plant in our garden! To go along with this book I found this Apple Life Cycle Poem Craft on Pinterest and new Emily would love making it. First, I cut out the pieces for Juliette because she wanted to do exactly what Emily was doing. Then I had Emily cut out her own pieces. I drew some of the pieces on the paper as a guide and some she wanted to do herself. Next, the girls glued the pieces on the blue paper which we folded into 4 equal spaces. Emily did this part completely on her own, it was like a puzzle for her. For Juliette I helped her by telling her where to place the pieces (ex. Glue the red circle in the middle of the first square). I was really happy with how for the most part she listened to the directions and then followed them. I just had to point to the box that she had to put the pieces in. If it was not perfectly placed I did not move it. Then they used little red dot stickers for the apples in the apple tree. Juliette also wanted green apples in her tree so she added those too. Finally, I wrote the words to the poem and we read them together. After thinking about it I would have liked to write the words on separate pieces of paper and have Emily match them on her own. Now it is your turn!!

The man was as odd as his myth. Long-haired, barefoot and nature-loving, John Chapman traveled the Midwest in the early 1800s planting trees and creating orchards for future settlers.
John Chapman (September 26, 1774 – March 18, 1845), called Johnny Appleseed, was an American pioneer nurseryman who introduced apple trees to large parts of Pennsylvania, Ontario, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, as well as the northern counties of present-day West Virginia. He became an American legend while still alive, due to his kind, generous ways, his leadership in conservation, and the symbolic importance he attributed to apples.
