Early last week we culminated our “Apples” theme by making applesauce right in our classroom!

It was a cooperative project with everyone working together to cut up the apples.

This was a first experience for some and hard work for everyone’s little muscles.

But we each figured out how to do it.

Thank goodness there were a lot of friends to help with the task!

Finally we had a crockpot full of apples!

We added sugar, cinnamon, and a little water, and everyone gave it a good stir.

It took a long time to cook and then we had to wait for it to cool down.

The next day we got to enjoy it with our snack and our little chefs gave it thumbs up.

We learned that homemade applesauce is delicious and we are GREAT cooks!
