Johnny Appleseed Project

One of our bigger successes with homeschooling was that Sidney was able to participate in Prairie Day. It’s when every student in the 4th grader researches a topic related to to the westward expansion in this country and then creates a poster presentation, as well as some type of creative expression. The culmination is a science fair-like morning where all the students stand in front of their presentations and answer questions about their topic. Sidney obviously couldn’t be there, but his teacher (G-d bless her) printed up the materials we emailed and made his poster presentation for him. His good friend Koshi secured some apples and we made this video for his creative presentation. I think Sidney (with wonderful guidance from his mother and tech help from his father) rocked this project.

  1. Loved watching the video, how cool to be in Brazil, and homeschooled, talking about manifest destiny and Johnny Appleseed doing his deeds. Good Job Sidney, and thanks for sharing. Maybe you can plant something down there, which will leave a lasting taste for those who follow. m
