Applesauce

We finished our apple week by dicing up our apples, throwing them into the crock pot and adding some sugar, water, cinnamon and nutmeg! Our room smelled SO good all day. It was a great treat to enjoy at the end of the day!

Apple Tasting

This week has been all about APPLES!! We started the week off by doing some apple tasting and graphing. The students got to try 3 different kinds of apples: red, green and yellow. We compared the different tastes and then made a graph about our favorite. We used these apple trees to help us see who liked which kind.

And then we used this graph on the SmartBoard to show which kind was the most liked and the least liked.

Yesterday we made an apple glyph after reading a silly story about a woman who flew all over the world to get ingredients for an apple pie. We talked about which way we like to eat our apples the best…most of us like pie!!!
