Apple Cooking!
We had 2 cooking projects this week: caramel dip and apple pies. Wednesday we attacked 2 large bags of caramels that needed unwrapping. It was tricky, and we had to remember not to eat them!
Then we added some milk and Ms. Heather put the pot on to warm up. We went off to centers anticipating a yummy warm dip to have with some apple slices. Then Ms. Heather scorched it, trashed it, and we had peanut butter dip instead. Sometimes that happens when Ms. Heather cooks! The kids were troopers: no one complained, and we enjoyed our snack.
After snack, we used our new picture graph to record whether we liked the green apples or the red apples best:
We used the graph to talk about the concepts of "most" and "least/ fewest". We also practiced counting carefully, with 1:1 correspondence. Green apples were the favorite!
Thursday was apple pie day! Before cooking, we used the flannel board to talk about the different parts of an apple, which parts we wanted in our pie, and which parts we needed to remove.
We loaded everyone up with lots of cooking supplies (especially apples) and marched over to Fellowship Hall to make some pies.
Step 1: Peel the apples with the super cool peeler/ corer contraption:
Step 4: Fold over and seal, then pop in the oven for 20 minutes. At this point, Mrs. Horton took all the kids out to the playground while the pies cooked. Ms. Heather was reminded (TWICE) to make sure they don't burn.

On Friday, we tried some caramel dip with apple slices (no cooking this time) and enjoyed that too!
