Rocky Ridge Orchard Visit Today

We visited Rocky Ridge Orchard today.  We had a wonderful morning at the orchard.  We each learned an apple song and picked an apple.  We went on a scavenger hunt, watched a machine peel, core, and slice apples, read some apple stories, and picked out three pumpkins for our classroom.

These are the pumpkins we picked out and brought back to school:

This is an antique red car that we all liked:

This is the machine that cut, cored, and peeled the apples:

These are the two bags of apples that we are going to make applesauce out of next week:

This is Mr. Sprague.  He owns the orchard.  He helped Mrs. Sprague serve the apple crisp that we tasted.

This is Mrs. Sprague.  She took us into the orchard and taught us how to pick an apple.

These are pictures from inside the store where you can buy donuts, apple cider, apples, and home made bread.

Thank you to everyone who sent in donations so that we could buy some apples and pumpkins for the classroom.    Special thank yous to Mrs. Bryant, Mrs. Johnstone, and Mrs. Dever.  We had a wonderful day!
