Classroom News-October 11, 2017
Today was a very exciting day! It was APPLESAUCE DAY!
We made applesauce at the reading center. Each child had the opportunity to peel and core an apple (with a safe peeler/corer). We tasted each apple as we put it in the crock pot. Then we added brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and water. It cooked in the classroom all day long. Oh! The wonderful smell!
After lunch, each child was given a cup with a morsel from 4 different apples (red delicious, golden delicious, gala, and granny smith apples) They tasted each apple and decided which they liked best. Then we created a graph with the information. We learned that our class likes red delicious apples best, granny smith apples next, then gala apples, and we like the golden delicious apples the least.
At the end of the day, we each got a small cup with applesauce in it. It was delicious! Most of the children ate it up. In case you would like to make it at home (its super easy), I've included the recipe.
8 medium apples quartered (although ours were diced)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Put the ingredients in a crockpot and cook on high, stirring occasionally for 4-5 hours. Cool and eat. This recipe is delicious when served warm or cold.
There is no school on Friday or Monday, so I will see everyone back here on Wednesday of next week. Enjoy the time off!
