First Day of School .....................Homeschool that is

Today was our first trial run of homeschooling my two little girls.  This week we are reading and doing activities that are associated with the letter "Aa."  Today we read and watched a disney movie about Johnny Appleseed.  Then we colored some pages about Johnny appleseed.  Mommy sang the Johnny Appleseed to the girls while they ate breakfast and lunch.  (good song I even learned that there were 3 additional verses!)
Johnny Appleseed Song
Oh the Lord is good to me
and so I thank the Lord
for giving me the things I need
the sun and the rain and the apple seed
yes He's been good to me

I owe the Lord so much
for everything I see
I'm certain if it weren't for Him
There'd be no apples on this limb
He's been good to me

Oh here am I under the blue blue sky
doin' as I please
Singin' with my feathered friends
hummin' with the bees

I wake up every day
as happy as can be
because I know that with His care
my apple trees they will still be there
Oh the Lord is good to me

Can you guess what tomorrow might be?  Clue: The theme/story associated with the letter "Aa" and hits close to home for our geographical region at this time.
