Week in Review

This week we have been exploring apples...from how they grow, what we can make with them,  which ones are our favorites, and everything in between!  We've taste-tested apple juice and apple cider and red, yellow, and green apples. The children also assisted in making applesauce on Thursday and had some for snack on Friday.

We chopped a lot of apples!

Working on peeling and chopping.

Andrea is patiently waiting for a turn to chop apples.

Zane said he used all of his muscles to work the peeler!

Other activities with apples included discovering what items in our room weighed more or less than an apple and describing the growth cycle of an apple.

3 pinecones are heavier than one apple.
