Cooking

Today we made applesauce in room 23. It was such fun and a great learning activity. We learned many vocabulary words such as blender, corer, utensils, ingredients, etc and  did math with measurement in cups, teaspoons, and tablespoons. The children begged for me to let you know how we made it so you can try it at home. I would suggest you ask your child if they could tell you how we made it in class but here are the ingredients and steps in case they forget.
Ingredients: apples (this is why we brought in apples)
                   sugar
                   cinnamon
                   water

Steps: Peel off apple skin
          cut apples in small pieces and place in bowl
          add sugar and cinnamon to taste
          put mixture into a blender and blend
          add water to your desired consistency.

Enjoy!!!
FYI- Teachers must order their individual classroom scholastic book orders. If you have more than one student in different classrooms, please send that child's order  with their payment to their teacher.
We will be cooking again next week too. The children are so excited!
