After we heard the story we washed our hands and got ready to cook! We all got a few slices of apple on a paper plate with plastic knives and we cut up the apple into little pieces. We put it in a bowl and we all poured a small Dixie cup of water on top. Mrs. Gould added sugar and cinnamon to it and stirred it up. Then we walked down to the kitchen and put it in the microwave to cook for about 10 minutes. Mrs. Chyko stayed in the kitchen to keep an eye on the applesauce and while that was going on Mrs. Jenkins came in and we had music class. After music the classroom smelled delicious!! We sat down and ate our snack, it was soooo good!!
We heard 2 other stories about apples today. They were called Apples, Apples and A was just an Apple Pie. We also learned a finger play that goes like this
Way up high in the apple tree,
Two little apples smiled at me,
I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down came those apples, mmmmm were they good!!
See if your child remembers the actions that we put with the poem, maybe they can teach you how to say that rhyme like we did in class!!
Finally we painted apple trees with Mrs. Chyko at the easle and did apple printing with Mrs. Gould at the art table. We tried to get the star inside the apple to show up when we did the prints, they turned out beautifully, we've got a bunch of budding Picasso's in our class!!
What a fun, busy day!! Here is the recipe for the applesauce that we made:
4 apples, peeled, cored and cut up.
1/2 c water
1/3-1/2 c sugar (I used 1/3)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Put in microwave for 7-10 mins (we actually needed 14 minutes before the apples were soft enough) mash up and enjoy!!
We used Cortland apples, but Macintosh or Granny Smith work well too. Add a little more sugar if using Granny Smiths.
