It was a very exciting and busy day in kindergarten! The students had fun making applesauce from the apples that they picked at the orchard on Monday. They had fun estimating how many seeds were in the apple that they picked to put in the applesauce. After they used a special machine that peels, slices, and cores, they had fun seeing who had the longest apple peel that did not break. Zoey won the contest and Henry's peel was just about a foot shorter! Each student then finished chopping their slices and added them to the bowl. It was fun for them to add water, sugar, and cinnamon. While they waited, they worked on little apple books. When each child got their apple core, they counted the seeds and compared the actual number to their estimate. Most guessed more seeds than the apple actually had. It was fun to glue the seeds into their books. After the apples were cooked and soft, the kids had fun turning the handle on the food mill to finish the process of making applesauce. It was a great treat to eat the homemade applesauce. The students also made thank you letters for Anderson Orchard. We thank God for them and will keep them in our prayers. We worked more on comparison in Math as they identified which sets had fewer. The students also compared their apple seed estimates to the actual number counted and identified which number was less. Later they had fun playing some Math games to practice more and less. Comments are closed.
